I recently started using a Bullet Journal to overcome similar issues. I don't think I'm really using it the way it supposed to be used, but what I now do is:
Every day, make a list of thing that I want to get done that day (or do this the evening before)
During the day, keep this list close and mark when an item is finished
Once finished, take a quick break (actually get up from your chair, walk around, go to the toilet, make coffee etc)
Look at your list and pick the next task
When making your next daily list, make sure to check last day(s) list(s) for unfinished tasks and decide if they're still relevant / add them to your day.
Besides that, I also have 1 page of stuff I need to get done that month. When making the daily list, the monthly list helps deciding on what to do.
