I have a fake calendar, but it's in my head. I always think something will happen to stop me doing what I need to, when it needs to be done, so I always knock off a few days or hours or whatever.
Another useful time management strategy is to always do the most demanding task first, then you won't be under pressure for the routine stuff. It may be tempting to get the easy jobs out of the way first, but work on the more challenging projects to leave more time for other work, or to take a break when you need it.
