I always carry a notepad in my pocket and write anything down that I say I will do.
Whenever I leave somewhere or arrive I check it.
However my tasks generally have a time frame of do it 'today' or 'day of week'. Not usually, in the next hour etc.
Whenever someone asks me to do something I always pause and consider what sort of load I already have. So always stop and think (or consult your notepad) before you commit.
Try to create a habit of checking the notepad.
Good luck and Smile
