Interesting - it sounds fairly similar in terms of cutting plaintext TODOs into a DONE list, but with greater visibility on a macro scale. Do you never date anything in the DONE list though? I might have a hard time remembering when I achieved big milestone X, or how long problem Y took to solve, which is part of why I want to track my work.

I don't date it but the files are in the repo I'm working on, so they're automatically versioned and dated. But I never go back and check them. After I've solved a problem I don't care. But when people ask me, "Describe a bug you recently solved" I can't remember. So maybe I could have a "greatest hits" file and copy some of those todos into there. Sometimes I also put the todos into GitHub issues, either as separate issues, or as check lists in a single issue. And sometimes for multiple projects and tasks across work, life, etc, I'll make a todo list in my Gmail, then leave it at the top of my inbox, and reply with DONE %todo desc% when I complete one. I guess another idea I came up with now is have a master todo repo, that only contains todo lists, and can organize them by project, etc. Then all todos and dones are in one place and in a github repo. But I need email as well sometimes. Meh...;P ;) xx

  Ah if the files are in version control you're golden, but for personal tracking using a git repo seems a bit overkill and not frictionless enough. The email idea isn't bad though, simple and effective!

    Oh, I didn't mean it for personal tracking. Just if I had a lot of projects running, put all todos in a github repo, and I wouldn't put personal in there, because it would feel too "worky". I haven't really done that centralized todo repo. Just an idea for you. Email is good for personal todos for me. Or just a notebook...pen and paper :p :) xx
