I think it is helpful to distinguish between tools and techniques.
Trello and Sticky Notes are tools. GTD, Kanban, Pomodoro etc are productivity management techniques/methods. I find it helpful to first pick the technique/method then figure out how to use the tools.
It is similar to programming languages and IDEs. First pick the programming language (methodology) then pick the tool (IDE). Good tools work with multiple methodologies.
