I've done quite a few different things, none of which worked for me 100%. Trello boards, Asana, GitHub Issues, etc...
I have recently found success in working backwards to determine why things aren't getting addressed. I'm using Clockify [https://clockify.me/] to track time spent on tasks. My flow is to stop the timer when I switch tasks, and start a new entry.
My job has a high amount of interruptions, which causes quite a bit of context switching. Not the most productive situation when working on long form tasks.
I've found that keeping an inventory of these interruptions helps me to determine what my stakeholders might need assistance with through utilities or fixes. It also keeps me semi-accountable in relation to how much of my day is being used appropriately.
But, I think the long and short of it is, keeping yourself accountable starts with being honest about where your time is being spent.
