organizational tool
Helps arrange things
An organizational tool is anything that helps arrange, track, or manage tasks, information, or resources.
The term covers physical items like planners and filing cabinets as well as digital applications like calendars and project management software: I use a spreadsheet as my main organizational tool.
The phrase emphasizes function over form—a simple notebook qualifies if it serves the purpose.
