Being productive is much more than one or two task management apps, doing some hacks in environments, or learning techniques, Although these tools, definitely will help along the way, but they are just tools and nothing more.
Being productive is a mindset, a vision, and it differs between different people.
What does it mean to be productive? become productive to do what? what do I want to do with my time? do I want to be productive just for the sake of being productive? ( I saw lots of people doing that without a clear vision, they are just doing much more things in a shorter time but still useless, random and no result )
Some bullet points I use as a guide that will help in the long run:
The action comes before motivation, never wait around to get motivated out of the blue, do the action and you will get rewarded with motivation after a while.
Consistency is more important than bouncing of between a full-blown working week and burnout.
it's easy to be productive for a week or two, setting everything up, clearing things off from the to-do list, but what about a year? just try to set achievable goals, as tiny as possible. like I'm going to do X thing for half an hour a day for the next 3/6/12 months ( Consistency )
Don't evaluate yourself in a short time ( like a week or a month ) because you will get false results. either you are super happy because you did a great job in that week/month or you are mad at yourself because you missed an amount of time watching Netflix while you should do your goal-related job.
Evaluate yourself at least every 3 or even better 6 months, because it's really quite a good amount of time to see how actually you did in this period and if your productive system made you better at your goal-related work or not.
Just try to be 0.01 better every day and don't care about the rest.
