  1. Keep Lists. Write down everything you have to do and then check it off the list when it is finished. There is far too much going on in development to remember everything and you don't get any credit for remembering 99/100 things - you get fucked on the one you forgot. 
  2. Similarly, mark emails you need to respond to as unread or flag them or whatever works for you. It is super easy to get bogged down in emails with all of the back and forth. Read them in chunks, mark the ones that need responses, and then bang them out in chunks a few times a day. 
  3. Ask for deliverables. Whenever anyone says anything on one of the thousand calls you are on, specifically a consultant, you need to find out whose responsibility it is, when it will be completed, and what the cost will be. Without you driving deliverables, it's easy for everything to become a brainstorming session. Ask for deliverables and follow up on them.

Industry agnostic managerial advice:

Always keep a list of your todos religiously updated

Triage them at the start of the day and decide what absolutely needs to get done. Focus on the 80/20

Do NOT allow yourself to get dragged into inconsequential things that do not move the needle meaningfully

Push tasks downstream that can be pushed relentlessly

Do not let anyone interrupt you unless it's critical - otherwise you'll never get deep work done. Use scheduled time for this to catch up with direct reports.

----

So many employees are bad at time management, even if you do not have direct reports...try to be acutely aware of the leverage points in your work. IE what moves the needle and makes you a good asset.
