I've found that most organizational/motivational tools aren't sticky. I suspect for me it's in part because I just don't care enough about being organized typically and don't lack in motivation as much as I do in free time (4 kids, 2 jobs).

In fact, the only organizational tool that has remained a constant for me has been Trello, and only for specific projects. As an example, when I moved mid-last year, I set up a Trello board and filled it up with everything we needed to get done, Kanban style. This was super helpful because it helped manage a sense of being _completely overwhelmed_ by the volume of work needed.

And that's where I basically draw the line now. I tend to not live in a way where I let myself be overwhelmed by things, and when I need an organizational tool to help cope with the busy times, I know where to find one that works for most workflows I could come up with.
