I use a text file to hold only the top few items, with just a couple groups like “problems”, “ideas”, or general tasks. I also don’t try to enumerate every possible thing that could ever be needed because in my experience anything that’s really necessary will eventually pop into my head again (and make the list later). I also prune the list if it gets too long. I don’t store the pruned items anywhere; as above, if they’re really important I will eventually think of them again.
