I'd say the best system ever is GTD by David Allen.
It is systematic once implemented.

@francescod_ales will chk that out. Havent really discovered it yet.
Hands down, it's the Pareto Principle or the 80:20 rule for me.
For me it's been not working in my room and forcing myself to go to a place (coffee, hotel) for 4/5 hours
@imraju Is it? It's an advice I implemented after reading "Deep work" where there's many examples given of people going in places where there's no distraction, at all, to work. One of the example used in the book is J.K Rowling booking an hotel room to finish HP's final chapters so that she has no relatives or children around, and nothing else to think of but finishing the book.
I guess it's the same logic behind not working from your bed because it's best to make your brain associate your bed with sleep only, for optimal sleep.
I have two favourite places where I go to based on envy. I tried a few before settling with these 2. But now, I feel like my brain associate these places with efficient work, and it doesn't require a lot of motivation to work when I'm there.
Apple notes ;)
Here are some tools which I use:
1. Notion: To record and organize all my notes, documents, etc.
2. Pomodoro chrome extension
3. Superlist: To record and manage my todos
4. Calendly, google calendar and google meet to schedule meetings
@girish_gilda i love the chrome extension for pomodoro. Other tools you mentioned are cool as well
Notion is our everything
@alvarovillalb_ great choice. I player around with Obsidian lately and its a great choice as well. Try it!
Yellow Tomato - Pomodoro timer and site blocker at the same time. We'll launch it on PH on March
@mariahhunter Wait, why has no one thought about this? This is genius. I need this
@mariahhunter great combo Maria.
Notion and calendly would be my top 2
@swayammi7 cool tools!

I agree with @umar_saleem and you Raju Singh. The Pomodoro Technique is really useful for staying focused. I also use that method for my work.

For me it's having a success partner! Someone that keeps an eye on me and my progress, so I know I'll have to finish my tasks.

@imraju Awesome! We're actually launching a product in regards to this. We made an App for entrepreneurs to make it easier to find their success partner!

making lists but also making sure you review them everyday to reflect on what was accomplished and what wasn't..and why/how
Working and doing nothing during that -> Then doing the non-work things
This discussion introduced me to Pomodoro and the first article I looked up described it as: The secret to effective time management is...thinking in tomatoes rather than hours.
I think I'm gonna follow through, lol!
