Based on what you said above, I know you don't have a ton of spare time. I would recommend you read (or even skim) a couple of books by David Allen or Tim Ferris. Ferris is the Four Hour Work Week guy. Allen is the Getting Things Done Guy.
Personally, I used to spend a lot of time lying in bed worrying about what had to be done the next day and fretting over what I forgot to do that day. I don't subscribe religiously to either of these guys' systems but one tip that really helped me was writing stuff down. The reason I suggest either or both of these authors is to help you find a way to dump all your worries from your mind and put them somewhere you trust. That way, you know you didn't miss something important that day and you know you can just pick up your list in the morning and get started on what needs to be done that day.
For me, it helped quite a bit. A lot of my mental energy was spent trying to remember stuff. Now that most of it is written down somewhere, I've given myself permission to not have to worry about it. Yeah, I still fret about trying to tick things off the list but at least I've been able to sleep a lot better.
