For example, being reminded to add new posts once a site's scheduled posts have finished, keeping track of costs of a project etc.
Looking forward to your input.

First of all, you need to educate yourself, which is not an easy journey, but not impossible as well. For this, you need to adopt some basic principles, such as:
- focus on one thing and one thing only
- whatever comes up, handle it now (I know it is the opposite of the first, but if the first is in progress, set yourself a reminder so as to not forget about the second task)
- use a calendar tool (to know when something needs to be done and by what time) + reminders (if you're going to delay, just like in point 2, put a reminder some time in advance from the deadline, so that you have time to finish it)
- know your goals, break them down into small steps, try to create a fixed timetable (for example: 9:00 AM breakfast, 10:00 AM Gym, etc). This will become automatic to you in time
- try to automate or delegate processes, so that you can focus on other stuff and remain organized (clutter is not good)
- learn to say NO to stuff that doesn't help you achieve any of your goals
For me, a calendar and prioritisation techniques (like saying NO to crap) help remain pretty much organized. You might feel like a robot until you get used to this stuff, but in the mid-term you should be able to get a hang of it and still enjoy spontaneous life
