I send the same piece to two different venues. The idea is 50% of all submissions aren't seriously considered, or even opened. Then I wait a month, or two, or whatever. Then repeat.

Notice I don't wait for a rejection. You never know if you'll even get one. The trend among editors, especially commercial magazine editors, is toward no answer. No answer being an answer.

With dozens of pieces available I can stay pretty busy. Before long you can be submitting every day, if you're so inclined. I don't know if a tracker would help or hinder. I keep track with a three ring binder. Man, that thing's getting fat : )
