Setting priorities are the first thing that needs to be done. Make a small list of your biggest opportunities that you need to focus on. Now that you have this list, the day planner will be much more effective when you combine the two.

The main ones that I enjoy using the day planner for are:
I can remember to do today what I forgot to do yesterday. I can have a place to come back to when life gets crazy and out of focus that will give me a solid ground to start from. If I receive information that needs to be filed away, but I don't know where to file it, I just make a note and stick it in the day planner. I can keep my schedule in front of me at all times.

Some other great benefits of a day planner are:
It allows me to remember my friends birthdays and other important days so I don't forget. I can write down and organize information that is in my head that needs to be brought out. I look and appear organized if I ever had to go on a job interview. It is a great place to track your expenses and keep you from overspending.

Now that you know some of my techniques to stay on track, you can do it as well. There are many things to be considered when using the daily planner. This is what works for me in my life. Feel free to use these and create your own as well. Good luck on staying on task.
