For me I've found logic, pragmatism and the seeking for and analysis of any facts or data I can find has cured some mental problems for me* All of these gadgets provide utility, but with a cost, in money, time, having to remember to charge it, the weight of carrying it around, the space it takes up in your house, the mental resources it uses having to learn how to use it and think about it etc. Its like, in the 90's I could have had a PDA, personal digital assistant, it has so much functionality, calendar, clock, track your appointments etc. But its another thing u need to carry, you need to periodically buy batteries for it, you also have to enter the your appointments into it. A small notebook and pencil was just a better overall solution when you do a cost/benefit analysis of it holistically. I think you could easily rate your existing stuff, eg. (If its not a tool) and you havent used it in the last month then its basically useless and you can get rid of it. Also for prospective stuff, you could ask, will this save me time? Will it save as much time as I spent working in order to earn the money to buy it? *my example is anxiety, I would be anxious that I'm having a heart attack or a stroke or something is medically wrong with me. So I looked up the actual symptoms of those things, which are like fainting, nausea, dizzyness, blurred vision etc. If I ever felt anxious I would go through the list and determine if I actually was really experiencing any of those symptoms. The answer was inevitably no, 'feeling a bit weird' was not one of the symptoms. This helped each time, and after a while I stopped feeling anxious altogether.
