There is some level of organization you have to achieve to be at least somewhat successful.
I think these sort of more complex systems are there to help you if your problem is being overwhelmed, or if you have need to have things classified and under control.
If your problem is the baseline fact that sticking to any sort of system is hard ... haha, same, and then you need a system that is simple.
I currently live by my google-calendar. Alerts in advance, trying to put everything there, to a point I https://sectograph.com/ as my watchface on my smartwatch, just so that I won't forget what I need to do today.
Also, writing out my daily todo-list in a ~private-ish channel I have on friend's discord suprisingly works better just having a todolist. Because my friends see that and that makes my brain actually care :)
So, yeah, "just need to figure out ways to handle my general messiness and get it to work" is right on the money.
It is like with that Bullet Journal thing. You see the elaborate ones from people that love their melticulous templates. But when I used it for a month or so successfully, it was just about the simple bulet-points, sometimes with dates, review once a day. I stopped because I lost the notebook, so ... oversharing on discord it is - I probably am procrastinating there anyway :D
