Same here, except my urge goes as far as writing to-do list tools (but obviously never actually getting to the point of having something usable). I guess it's easier to blame current solutions for not having {insert essential feature I just came up with that would finally turn me into a productive individual} than actually working with what I have and focusing on what needs to be done.
I wonder if there is some kind of all-encompassing solution (software-based or whatever) that actually manages to conduct you into a so-called "flow state" in some way. I've tried automating things like blocking websites, turning the computer off at certain times and so on, but it always either feels too constraining (which just makes me disable everything after some time) or too "manual" (which I never have the discipline to maintain). And ultimately, it doesn't really make me want to do the task any more than I would otherwise.
