When teams get stuck researching productivity systems instead of implementing them

Our startup team has been researching time management frameworks for three months because everyone says we need better systems but we can't decide between agile sprints, time blocking, or getting things done and meanwhile we're spending more time in meetings about productivity than actually being productive. I think we're analysis paralysing ourselves but I'm also afraid we'll pick something that makes half the team miserable.

What we've seen

The search for the perfect framework has become a way to avoid confronting how differently team members actually work.
