ISO organization tips for incoming summer analysts

Wondering if any of you seasoned professionals had advice on how to organize your tasks, emails, project files, and networking effectively as an SA and beyond. I have heard about Microsoft Todo, making punchlists, and OneNote, but was wondering if you guys had anything else to add.

Currently heavily rely on Google Calendar and Drive to keep me organized. But I am sure Microsoft platforms will be the way to go in IB so I am slowly transitioning to using that. 

I am an incoming SA and I am not the most organized person so would like to get some ideas and tips from you all to set myself up for success and get the most out of my SA time. Thanks a bunch.
