Whether we like it or hate it we all make plans sometimes, how do you avoid missing those certain plans? I myself do the following:

My clocks are always 5-10 minutse ahead. As i generally run ~15 minutes late to things, this ensures I'm only 5 minutes late which gives me the "Fashionably Late" acceptable entrance
When paying bills, buying things online, etc. I always keep track of it ina spread sheet in google documents with the following colums:
Date...Object(bill, ticket,etc)...Note I(confirmation number).... Note II(day of event, balance left, etc).. One to many times I've made a cell phone payment that never went fully through so having those conf. numbers is REALLY handy. and its nice to be able to track if i paid my cell phone bill this month.
I also have a calendar sync'd between my computer and iPhone that keeps all my "hot dates"

I am a big fan of the Google Documents thoe as it provides an easy way for me to record stupid data. I'm a bit OCD about numbers and statistics, I am one of the few people who use the ratings system on itunes and all ~9k songs I have are rated with 1 to 5 stars.
