One technique that was working for me for a while was Bullet Journal. Using an actual physical notebook to write down all the tasks right away in a simple list. Review at the end of the day. Review at the beginning of the day. Having a list of tasks I haven't forgot allows me to actually get stuff done. Review and migrate tasks each month. Its like a backlog grooming for life. Sometimes tasks just linger and you have to think about why that task has been there for months. Being able to see the list, and get the satisfaction of physically marking it off is definitely beneficial for me. And if you are going to procrastinate, at least you have a list of other things on your mind that you might accomplish. Unfortunately this whole situation of working from home threw me off and haven't used it in a while. But I think I might revive it, and put into place some of these rules, like just doing things immediately if they are under 5min in the morning. Rather than continuing to put them off.
