Only use unpowered hand tools maybe. Unfortunately, using powered saws is always a little dangerous. Some table saws have a detection mechanism if it hits your flesh that causes it to hit the brakes immediately, but there aren't many other saws with that sort of safety feature. There are safety devices and safety protocols, but it's probably best to avoid them if you know that you tend to be absent-minded. Any safety device that lets wood near the blade will also let your finger near the blade.
