I keep a running project journal in a google doc with to-dos and just stream-of-consious thought about the problem at hand. If I have an idea for something that's not a current priority, I put it in under an out-of-scope header. I can come back and collect it later when I'm in a big picture planning phase and it lets me stop carrying the mental weight of "I want it to be perfect" that leads to paralysis because I can't implement everything all at once. Writing down my thinking helps recover from interruptions, which are frequent with kids underfoot.
