Productivity tools are completely useless if you *lose* productivity because using them requires doing something completely unnatural or otherwise difficult. But there is another aspect to adopting the use of productivity tools, and that's establishing good habits involving their use. Some tools can be easy and natural to use, but ineffective because your bad habits get in the way. For example even pen and paper in your pocket may not help if meetings usually involve you talking (read: arguing) more than you listen. Completely agree.
