Can echo the feeling, it's magical thinking that "only if I had the perfect organisational system I'd unlock my potential". It's a trap, and I fell for it for a while when I was younger.
Nowadays I gave up on all the Notion/Evernote/orgmode/whatever-tool-someone-is-peddling with systems of systems, tagging, etc. to organise oneself.
I realised after getting a bit older that pen and paper is the system that works for me, just a nice notebook, without pressure to use it for everything, no rigid system but a system that organically evolved for myself; keep it accessible wherever I'm that I might need to take notes, and it just flows while being easy to use for myself.
I think that looking for the perfect amazing organisational system is just another form of procrastination. I'm very happy for the people who manage to have found a very neat system for themselves, searchable, available on every device, etc., but it's not for me.
