Could you plan your evening meals the week before and maybe order in the stuff you need for it so at least you don't have to think about it when you get home. Maybe things that don't need much preparation or planning like jacket potato or chicken salad? Or maybe if you cook at the weekend make extra so you can freeze it?
With regards to the doing everything you need to do, I used to have a colour coded post it note door. So stuff that was urgent was on pink post it notes and I'd try and do one a day, less urgent stuff was orange and stuff I needed to remember but wasn't priority was on green post it notes. Sometimes visual reminders can be helpful and setting aside time every day to do a task can make it seem a natural part of your regime. For example maybe doing your diary whilst you are waiting for your dinner to cook.
I carry around a bottle of water/squash with me all the time and try and drink two or three a day. Those new mini squeezy squash things are quite good if you don't like tap water.
