So this is more a process flow question than a tooling question imo. I've had similar thoughts and what I ended up on kind of worked.

Kanban board for tasking out -> nextcloud deck Obsidian for any notes needed Wallabag to replace pocket

My main improvements were to stop saving everything to pocket and only save either what's my current project/research interest and to start using Kanban to save ideas for future projects instead of dumping everything into pocket immediately.

Getting things done, Kanban, or bullet journal all have worked in some way in the past to better facilitate this. Although some of my friends find heavier processes get in the way of doing things I'm the opposite, heavy structure helps me move through the process.

Hope some of this helps.
