I've been experimenting with time management for years, trying various ways to get myself and my time organized and get a lot of things done, and I've never found anything that works more efficiently and productively than a to-do list - with heavy reliance on randomization to choose which item on the list gets worked on next. I try to avoid skipping things that come up, sticking to my randomizer (either dice - gamer 20-siders tend to work best - or random.org) as much as possible.
The problems with this are that sometimes the more important things don't come up on time, or on days when I can only do a portion of the list I often don't get started at all ... and, of course, if I lose my list, I'm done for! Still, in lieu of a better system, I stick to it, making small adjustments where I can to improve productivity. (And try not to think that the best improvement to my productivity would be a shorter list!)
