I've tried a zillion to do apps, most of them are just not very good and add a lot of annoying overhead or have super specialized workflows that have tons of shortcomings. I started using a bullet journal in June and it's been a fantastic experience. This is what sold me on the idea: https://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelwmiller/how-to-start-a-bullet...
It's amazing how well organized you can be when you keep track of stuff better.
Another thing I've done is started keeping a sort of checklist/timeline for morning, mid-day, and end of day to make developing habits easier as well as just keeping up on to-do stuff. One of the most useful things has been to add some elements from things like this, which is a significant quality of life boost: http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2016/02/evening-ritual
Also, journals are great for facilitating things like CBT for anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc.
