I would also suggest that you look at the Kanban _Method_ for managing the flow of your work (of which going off on a tangent may even be an integral part, as others have noted). It is well suited for knowledge work, both at a personal and a collaborative level.

As for related tools, personal Kanban can well be done with a physical board if you have a single work location. Having ADD, I find permanently visible simple physical cues—similar to Prion’s whiteboard—much more effective in helping me focus than sophisticated software windows which can be hidden behind my browser.
