Barely keeping my head above water

Does anyone else feel the same?

I'm not just talking about work, but personal life too. This is more than just, "I don't hang out enough with friends" but more along the lines of I almost forgot to file taxes, almost forgot to submit counter signed lease, almost forgot to send out mothers day card, etc, etc...

Not sure how to manage honestly. Been at this for over 2 years and it hasn't gotten any better. I never actually forget but it's usually a last minute scramble.
