unproductivity tools

I don't know if its just me but I find that productivity tools have a tendency to make me more unproductive. I admit that I am scatterbrained and often forget or misremember many things and so 'technically' I should benefit from these tools however, I find that having so many tools and gateways available it makes me more unlikely to make sure I'm up to date with everything. My ratty day timer seems to be the most appropriate tool for me.
