Ask HN: What tools do you use to help keep a schedule?

For personal life events Google Calendar.

For tracking work related events (decisions, projects etc.) I use my own app Review19 - http://review19.com

Have tried a lot of the popular options: Asana, Trello, Pivotal, Google Docs etc. Each has got its own strengths and weaknesses.

My colleagues and I are distributed around the world and Review19.com really helps in non traditional tracking such as collaborative decision making.

I use Gmail a lot so what works for me is the app Remember The Milk. On the desktop it loads a task list on the right side of the Gmail screen. I put daily tasks there but for meetings I still take the time to enter it in the google calendar

http://culturedcode.com/things/ and http://www.streak.com for work.

Google Calendar for everything.

Basecamp calendar, it makes my life so much easier. I use Basecamp for primary work-related scheduling.
