I don't intend to be a smart-ass; but, there's really only 1 trick
to calendar management, regardless of the technology.  Every morning
(or any other time of day... as long as it's the same time each day)
go over the things you have to do that day and the next few days.

So, for example, I use Gnome Calendar.  It does things like throws
up dialog boxes and emails me etc.  But, all that is totally useless
if I don't spend about 15 minutes each day gathering my thoughts about
what should be done that day and over the next few days.

If you spend that 15 minutes, any technology will suffice, including
a little spiral notebook, a wad of sticky notes in your pocket, or 
notes written on your arm.

Oh, and if you, for some reason, simply cannot discipline yourself to
take that 15 minutes each day, then your life doesn't need organizing.
[grin]  You'd be better off winging it.
