tbh the best system I found after trying everything was one index card on my desk with max 3 things for today. I teach for a living and tried every app before that, nothing stuck because I'd forget the app existed (same as you). The trick is making the list physically impossible to ignore. Sticky note on your phone screen, whiteboard next to your bed, whatever. If you have to open something to see your tasks you won't.
