I gave up on electronic productivity tools for the same reason: too much time fiddling with tools and data entry, not the actual work I was trying to be productive at.
A brick of post it notes, a pile of blank paper, a binder clip, and a few nice pens and pencils solved the problem for me. The rest of the stuff that isn’t so much about productivity as it is capturing information for future reference, I just stick that in a git repo of text files with whatever editor I happen to open (or just cat’ing to a file if it’s a quick note).
