    Evernote for notes and information

    Numbers (Excel) for finances

    Amazon small boxes for smaller bicycle components

    I label shelves and the top edge of drawers with what goes in there

    Phone Numbers / Addresses etc I trust to google (gmail)

    Which syncs with a variety of tablets (iOS and Android) and Phones (iPhone)

    For letters I read then eiether shred, or mark for follow-up, writing a 'do this by' date on the envelope.

    Phew...

    When I was holding down two jobs, going to grad school full time, and keeping a family, I relied on one of the first smartphones to hit the market: a Handspring Treo. Now my gadget of choice is the iphone. It was hard to imagine going through it without the help of an electronic calendar.

    Outlook (for work), Gmail calendar and a smartphone. Sync them. It's life-changing.

    Smartphone with Google calendar, email, and my social media apps. Then I have a banking app which I can manage my online bills and make payments with. I scan all my important papers and put them on my backed up hard drive. I use a shopping list app, run and exercise apps.

    And I have keys in one pocket, wallet in the other, and a running/gym bag.

    What else could you need?
