The BEST and most effective way to keep yourself organized, is writing down what you need to get accomplished. You can add the fancy sparkle and glitter as you go, but first get the thoughts on paper, in your phone, in your favorite app, whatever you need. Not only does writing it down help you remember better (why do you think teachers made us write everything down), but it also encourages you to be more productive. Once you get those raw thoughts and tasks on paper, you can then organize it to a to-do list or create several lists to further track your tasks.
I keep two kinds of to-do lists:
The short-term list for day-to-day tasks such as household chores, or tasks that I need done THAT day. I keep this one a boogie board https://amzn.to/4ku2Evt. Something that I can easily clear and not fuss with a pile up of lists.
And then a long-term list that has all the big items I need to do. This is for things like painting the upstairs, weeding the backyard and laying down pavers, and getting the car detailed. All things that need to be completed eventually but not going to be done now. So, it's on the long-term list to remind me where I'm at and what I still have to accomplish.
If list writing isn't a natural habit for you, start small, work your way up to it. Try it for one week and reflect on the difference it's making in your life.
