TL;DR: It's helped me a lot. Start simple and adapt it to your needs as you go. Always have it open in a high traffic/good view area. Feel free to ask me any questions.
BLOCK OF TEXT:
I was skeptical, but so far I am going 2 months strong. I used this notebook. I like it cuz it's graph paper and it is smaller than a normal notebook.
My Setup:
The worst part is the set up. Numbering the pages was kind of brutal, but once that's over, it's pretty simple. At least for me... I shy away from all the artsy stuff I've seen online. I find that overwhelming, so I stick more closely to the original idea of it. As far as the planner side of it, I started out with just the Future Log, Monthly, and Daily approach. After the first week or so, I replaced the "dailies" with a "weekly" view that works for me. The best part of this is that it is so flexible that you can change it to serve your needs as you go.

Misc/Disclaimer
I think it is obvious that I am currently medicated, but I just wanted to throw in that I started using it before that. With medication, it has definitely brought my productivity to levels I didn't even know existed; but even without medication, it did help me do the bare minimum I needed to do.
Anyway, if anyone has any questions or would like pictures of what my bullet journal looks like, feel free to PM me.
A couple I can recommend and stay away from.
Pen loop I was going to use Leuchtturm ones but found these work great for securing the pencil to a Smart Cover. I’ve been running this setup for a while and the pen stays in place. However, when folding the cover all the way around to create flat surface, the pen loop makes the iPad wobble due to the square. So not good for writing or drawing flat, unless you detach the cover (what I do when writing flat)
Pencil sling sleeve is what I will be replacing the above pen holder with eventually.
Pencil sleeve, while I used this for a while and it was okay. I found it to bulky and cumbersome. I wouldn’t recommend this in any way. I eventually cut it in pieces to have a pencil cap holder and a rubber grip for finger fatigue. This made the sleeve parts slide around like crazy so I eventually threw it away.
^Through all my uses with the Apple Pencil I haven’t lost my cap or thought I was going to so I believe the cap holders are not needed.
As far as apps go:
Note taking: Notability (tried 5 others to include goodnotes, one note, note shelf, etc.; and none of them either wrote as consistently or functioned as well as notability)
Drawing: Medibang Paint (most people would recommend Procreate but for just straight drawing or finishing artwork Medibang is way better)
Sketching/painting: Procreate (for simply sketching out or idea or painting Procreate is a clear winner)
Photo finishing: Affinity Photo (haven’t used much and still learning to use it, but the amount of features and effectiveness clearly stand out here)
This case just arrived yesterday and so far it’s decent. The clear back shows off the iPad nicely. Downsides are that the cover doesn’t stay open with the magnets and the button covers feel pretty fragile. I also added a generic stylus holder to keep the pencil secure.
I just stuck a couple of these on the lid, works pretty well
