I've been using Momentum[1] for Chrome for the past few months. Turn off the quote and other distractions (unless you're into that), and basically it's a nice-looking TODO list you see every time you open a new tab.

I just use this for my day-to-day stuff, and try not to keep anything there for more than a week or so (basically: if it's there that long, it's not getting done). I really love adding small things that I can get done in 5-10 minutes, and I just don't use it for things that take days.

When I'm waiting for something to finish, or am between tasks with a meeting that's going to interrupt me if I really get into something, it's great to pick up something fast that I've already thought about a bit and can just get done. It hasn't eliminated my being distracted, but because it shows up when I press Ctrl+t it often catches my attention and I do something from my list instead of going to HN or twitter or something.
