Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry and I SO empathise, especially right now.
Post-it notes save me sometimes around the house for day-to-day reminders. I carry a pad around with me and jot down a reminder and stick it to the relevant surface so I won't forget it later.
My biggest strategy, though, is simple list-making. I make a list, use highlighters in different colors to signify deadlines or type of task, and then usually rewrite the list in chronological order of what I need to do first to last. I often also seperate the chronological list into seperate sub-lists by location of task (home/office/errands etc.) so that if I don't finish everything on my office list, I know where to pick up again when I get back to work the next day.
I also sometimes call home or call work and leave myself a voicemail.
You really need to read my essay "Gentlemen Prefer (Medicated?) Blondes". It would make you laugh a lot and not feel so badly about your own organizational skills.
