You need two basic things. One is at least a basic way to organize your projects and tasks, ideally in such a way that you "capture" everything that needs to be done, and also can "focus" on the few things you're prioritizing or likely to get to first. I currently use asana for this, but no amount of reading blogs and trying different apps is going to solve for the problem that you need to pick a system and just be disciplined about using it. The second thing you need to do is apply yourself to your tasks in disciplined ways. It means finding blocks of time where you are un-distracted & in an environment that doesn't distract you, and forcing yourself to avoid obsessively checking email, facebook, twitter, and what have you. Try Rescue Time (and in particular their Get Focused feature) if you have a problem with this.
