I use MS Outlook and sync it to my Blackberry. I started using it just because it came with the Microsoft Office student bundle of programs and I'm really happy with it. You can categorize and colour code everything which makes it really easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. I'll have categories for due dates, lecture times, meetings, work stuff, etc and I'll colour code everything so I can easy glance at it and see what's coming up. You can do the same with the Tasks section and Outlook will sort and integrate everything into your calender for you. Pretty solid.
I also LOVE MS OneNote. Fabulous program, I couldn't live without it. It's fantastic for taking notes, organizing important documents and writing quick notes to yourself.

I used to do that, but sometimes I remember things a bit too late. The ridiculous thing is that if I write it down I won't forget it, but I don't need to read what I wrote down at the same time. So it feels as if I'm writing things down for no reason.

Telling yourself that you need to write something down helps me remember.... lol

I use an ipod app. called SaiSuke. It automatically links to google calender when in range of an internet connection. That way at home I have a full calendar all set up to go with due dates, meetings, tests, hockey schedule and whatever events I need to be going to.
Works for me

I still like using an agenda, but I think I will give Google Calendar a try this year as well. I had to use it during the summer and I liked it.
