We spend more time coming up with processes and new "hacks" to get things done. Just keep it simple with a list, either online or on paper, and get it done.

For paper-based, I would write a daily list of things that need to get done. I see everything in one place. Items that I don't get to will be re-written the following day. If something keeps recurring without getting done, I revisit the task to determine whether it actually is worth the time to get it done or not.

Online, I love Wunderlist. It's simple and allows me to do the same thing I do on paper, plus some extra bells and whistles (syncs with all my devices, reminders, deadlines, comments, and sub-lists.) I only use two lists. One for active items, and one I call "backburner". These are the non-urgent, not-important items. And from time to time, I visit the backburner and move them to my active list to finally get it done when I have some free cycles.

Just keep it simple and spend more time doing the task at hand. Breaks recommended.

I usualy dismiss everything I read in such kind of articles, but I like the four quadrants. It's a nice add-on for a todo list.

Now I'm going to lose some time experimenting different layouts of my TODO...
