What I do for all of my side projects now is keep a TODOs.md file in the project root. I no longer keep track of to-dos for programming projects external to the project. I find it makes it much easier to pick up a project I've left for a while. What I do is every time I think of a new work item or discover a bug, I add an item to the list. Once I finish an item, I check it off. Since it's checked in with everything else, it's a good history of what work was "discovered" along the way and what work has been done.
