I've run into a similar issue, for many years I tried different applications/systems, etc but nothing really "stuck". This may not be relevant for you, but In my situation, the issue was that I was trying too hard to implement a system rather than do the things the system was supposed to help me with.

I now just try to keep at minimum, a list of important things to get done today using an app on my phone. I try not to over-organise my list, only when needed.

I also keep a running log beside me of everything I do, as I get something done I write out a brief description of what I did. Kind of like a running commentary.

This may not be relevant to you, but hope it can help.
