I realized I didn't actually explain my process:
I have a "tasks.org" file that acts as my inbox: I put new tasks in there as I think of them. Each day I will a) do the task, b) schedule it for the future, or c) refile it into the appropriate project.
Each project gets a "<project>.org" file, I keep my TODOs mostly at the top, or interspersed if there's context within the notes of the project (in Org Mode, tasks and notes can be interleaved within a document).
I keep everything synced between computers via Dropbox. I use BeOrg on iOS for mobile organization.
I also use `mu4e` for email, so reading mail and turning it into TODOs takes almost no effort. I try to practice a "getting stuff done" style workflow for communication, and I try to get to inbox zero each day (through replying, archiving, and scheduling a task for me to reply in the future). 90% of the time I fail to hit inbox zero, but I don't let it stress me out.
I used to use Superhuman + Things + Markdown for the equivalent setup: much simpler with Emacs + Org Mode.
With all that said, I still make heavy use of analog notebooks. I find there's no substitute for writing with my own hand (I suspect this is vestigial from the analog education I received).
