Take notes like a stenographer. Have a personal workstream tracker, calendar holds and reminders for important things. The only way to survive is to not get behind. The way to get ahead is to add value without fucking up the basics.
This helps for sure — do you have separate system for personal calendar or just work outlook for everything?
Outlook, I keep a ton of notes (appointments) in there. I'm in restructuring, so every court date I think may be relevant is in there, as well as due dates for filings - usually a few days prior if I know the team has to do something.
Another thing, that I didn't include above was that I keep a personal running "diligence tracker" of any questions I have and answers I get. It's a very helpful reference and I found as a junior guy it helped me not ask the same question twice (which always pisses people off).
