Lots of good advice in this thread. Get checked out medically. Sleep apnea, ADHD, other things could be causing this.

If not, stop looking at productivity blogs and videos!

It's simple when you step back and think about it: You had a problem (productivity/organization not as good as you want), you tried a solution (reading/watching for productivity tips) and you noticed the outcome (your productivity didn't change).

It isn't working for you, so try something different! Try it, measure it, reflect on the result. Keep doing this forever.

There's no magic method, no magic pill, no organizational system that will just make everything work and be easy. But watching videos and reading articles feels good. It feels like you're just one step away from being totally organized and never having to stress about work again. Of course, that isn't true.
