I ended up doing a similar thing when I was a contractor. Just a really long note file that I'd track everything I was doing.

Relatedly, I find all of the todo/task management apps to be utterly overwhelming for my person tasks. I'm so tired of all of the task apps adding way too much complexity.

All I want is:

* Something that's available on all of my devices.

* Can be ordered by sections

  * Triage

  * Now

  * Today

  * Tomorrow

  * Soon

  * Eventually

  * Whenever (when-never)

* Let's me add a task without thinking (default to triage)

* Lets me drag-and-drop tasks for ordering
