I’m still using an old fashioned paper and pencil.
I embrace disorganization.
Everyone talking about notes and reminders. Another aspect of organizing life (to me) is organizing all the documents I accumulate over the years. I run paperless-ng in my home network. Every physical letter I receive is immediately scanned and added to paperless, which then OCRs it for easy text search. It automatically tries to find out the date, who the correspondent is (you can set detection patterns or let it learn), and you can give tags to documents (which can also be auto-added by simple patterns or learning). After scanning a document I can put it in a binder (if it’s worth keeping), and paperless stores the page number of it. When the binder is full, I use a new binder and continue the page count. I can find any document within seconds, no more searching through piles of paper for hours. Of course it also handles any digital documents I find important and it can also monitor E-Mail Accounts for attachments to automatically ingest. I believe everyone should use this or similar software
Organize life? What’s that?

I have a note app and a calendar app. Between these two I can make to do lists and schedule events. That’s all I’ve needed.

I’ve been trying to use elementary’s calendar app and sync it with Nextcloud but I haven’t finished the process yet, I doubt I will fix my mess of a life, though.
Don’t be harsh on yourself just because you tried. The fact that you did means you haven’t given up yet. All this effort means something. So, keep it up.
I keep notes in Markdown files, keep tasks in NextCloud Deck, and keep track of bills with NextCloud Calendar.
Notes app on my phone. I check it once or twice a day.

Am using a simple notes app & an old-fashioned paper calendar, but noticing that I use the latter less and less in favor of the app
I sometimes e-mail myself (to a dedicated address) with to-dos or reminders, also you can add labels and/or folders to prioritize the messages/tasks
In the morning, I put reminders in my work calendar to do stuff in the afternoon / tomorrow.
I move them when I miss it.
I don’t when I finish them or forget.
I’m longing for weekends and try to move stuff across those two days.
But forget it all, most of the time.
Some stuff sorts itself out, others bite me.
I wish I knew how to write a haiku.
