I am not like any of the people you described but here is what is working for me:
1. Make a list of things weekly that need to get done
2. Daily pull from weekly into your list for the next day
3. Be careful how you word your task list. Focus on process over outcome. This is a little hack to avoud procrastination. Example: spend an hour refactoring (process) x vs refactor x and fix failing tests (outcome)
4. Figure out the #2-3 critical items.
5. Timebox/pomodoro
6. Sleep, wake up early & eat your frogs in the morning
When i do all of this i am able to get a whole lot more done.
Also grab the book a mind for number. There are some interesting insights in productivity.
I have tried GTD etc but have found that for me this process works.
