I have to say, I strongly disagree with this. As a professional software developer I've watched legions of clients fall into the trap of customizing tools to adapt to their specific sacred workflow. It always ends up being expensive (though admittedly profitable for me) and most importantly, it always ends up trapping the client in a situation where they cling to the customized tool for far longer than they should.
The moral of the story: Your workflow is not sacred. Even the way your brain "works" is not sacred. Learn to adapt or be prepared to die. If your workflow isn't changing or at least being tweaked from time to time, the odds favor the idea that you have grown stagnant. That's not to say that change for the sake of change is the preferred alternative however. I'm only saying that treating your workflow as sacred and hence immutable is a dangerous trap to fall into.
