Assuming I am starting from "Unproductive" state, no tool/system has been the right fit.
I start with paper and pencil to note down tasks & just start with something. Momentum helps.
And once I have momentum, I will observe what I am attempting to do, where I can use the tech in my productivity system. Then I will just go get that. This could be a custom thing I put together or whatever. These days, I use whimsical (drawing tool) to manage some of my mindmaps and todo systems. No kidding. You will bound to grow out of it, and just adapt as you go. And when I fall off the wagon after weeks/months, I reset and start with pen and paper again.
Moral of the story - Don't find a tool to fit into it. Deeply observe how you work and find tech bits that help you in your evolving process.
