I think an important rule for living and working more efficiently is not tracking everything. Tracking the unimportant things is a waste of time unless you make it super easy.
For work: it depends on the company and the team.
For personal life: Google Calendar is still the best. I like creating events for things I've done. So the calendar is not only about future any more.
For both: RescueTime helps me make sure I don't waste time when I'm on my computer.
Thoughts: a to-do list is not enough. Priority and the time we actually have matters more when we want to get things done.
