Todoist, Notion, or Google Calendar are excellent options. They save more time than they consume if used consistently and minimally to organize tasks and deadlines.

Apple Reminders – it pushes me to publish posts I would probably forget about :) 
It is like my second memory.

Notion, honestly! It's basically my digital brain that actually saves me time instead of making me jump through hoops. Super flexible, connects everything, and lets me dump all my thoughts and projects in one spot without going crazy.

Trello: Visual Kanban boards help me track projects at a glance, and drag-and-drop functionality is effortless.

I think that LLM-powered tools are the clear winners in actually saving time rather than consuming it.

Chat like ChatGPT/Claude：
Instant drafting of emails, documents, and code
Quick problem-solving and brainstorming
Zero setup time, immediate value

Coding like GitHub Copilot：
Speeds up coding significantly
Handles boilerplate automatically
Immediate time savings

What makes these AI tools different is that they adapt to you, not vice versa. No complex setup, no maintenance needed - they just work.
