What are your life hacks for being organised in family life?

I work 4 days and have 2 under 5. I feel like I'm always on the go but still always chasing my tail on tidying, sourcing birthday presents for family, sorting family admin - insurances, general tasks, meal planning, decluttering etc.
I'd love a 'system' to keep me in check.
Basically I need someone to set me up with an organised life that I can just run with Grin
I'll be going up to 5 days when they're both at school as we could do with the extra so I guess I'll have even less time.
what are your hacks please?

Electronic family calendar that you and DP have on all your devices.When you are out and about you can immediately check availability and update calendar. Put in school holidays, play dates, dentist etc as soon as known. Birthdays etc entered as annual reminders

Can also add reminders for car mOT, insurance renewals etc
