Is there a simple method of self-organization?
There are many methods of self-organization and time management: GTD, time management according to the tomato method, an add-on to GTD - ZTD. But it's all kind of huge. I am a minimalist by nature and keep things simple. Please advise a simple method of self-organization (book, video, article, etc.)

Leo Babaut's "Concentrate Freely" is probably one of the simplest methods of self-organization, from a true Minimalist.
Have you ever wondered why there is so much variety among self-organization methods? Precisely because the simplest way of self-organization is the most difficult. It's called "take it and do it". It works great for highly motivated people and allows you to achieve excellent results, even if some events occur outside the schedule. Although, stop. This method also does not have any schedule, because with the help of this method all daily work tasks end by lunchtime and you get to work on tomorrow's plans.
But, unfortunately, there are very few people who are so motivated. Ordinary mortals need all these systems. But, my friend, they are so subjective that it doesn’t make much sense to advise any - and here the question is not about complexity or simplicity, but about efficiency for you.
All these systems are approximately equally useful and require three things:
1) willpower - tasks need to be done, not accumulated (although saving is also useful, but not when absolutely all tasks go into the piggy bank)
2) the tool must be trusted (and for you need to follow it - enter all the tasks, ideas, projects, etc., set deadlines and follow them, if this is supposed to be a tool) so that you don’t fidget in your head “damn, but you shouldn’t forget about it”
3) the tool must pass absolutely everything so that this does not happen - "they put the task aside and forgot about it forever." All tasks (both received now and yesterday) should be nearby so that it is clear what you are going to do now.
For myself, I chose Nirvana (GTD in its purest form) + local wiki (outwiker) for ideas / trash / knowledge base. Now I'm fighting with tomatoes, but it turns out badly - they often distract me, however, they are already more about productivity, and not about chaos in my head.
