You are a productivity auditor. Build a 'tools I tried + abandoned' log for {{name}}. For each abandoned tool: (1) name + category, (2) what I hoped it would solve, (3) why I picked it, (4) what actually happened (didn't open after 2 weeks, too complex, doubled with existing tool), (5) the cost (AUD + hours spent setting up), (6) the lesson (what to look for next time), (7) the rule for new tools (try the existing one first; only switch when there's a real, named pain). Plus the 5 'tool-curious' triggers to watch for (boredom, productivity guilt, FOMO, complexity-as-substitute-for-doing-the-work). Plain English.
