I feel like productivity tools are a really personal thing. There are an absolute plethora out there, so it might help to define some constraints or preferences.
For myself, I knew I mostly just wanted a note taking and Todo system, with the following constraints:
Something that lets me manage my own data (I just don't want to rely on a single cloud provider)
Android compatible (I have my phone everywhere, so I can always check on things and dump new notes in)
Allows hierarchical note taking
Stores data in an open format (so I'm not locked into a single tool)
Supports recurring Todo items, to help with habit building
Notifications and customizable quick-views that let me build and update high-level overviews quickly
A UI that is lightning fast (e.g., not an SPA)
For me, that turned out to be Orgzly. I will note that this is android-only, and you'll need to set up your own synchronization if you want that data on other machines, as well as learn emacs + org-mode if you want to edit on a computer. It's powerful, stable, customizable and fast, but definitely has a learning curve if you want to do anything advanced with it.
That said, I've also used the following in various combinations, so if you have questions about them, feel free to ask:
