log.txt
I KISS with just a text file. I've tried other methods but only this one stuck. I like Sublime and VS Code b/c hyperlinks can be command+clicked to open. They've also never lost a single character of information, which I cannot say for any other editor, even vim.
Here's how it's formatted:
#TODOS:
one line per item
try to keep this small
once they're done, move to end of file (cut line, cmd+down, paste)
#STICKY:
short reference, stuff you would normally put in a sticky note on your monitor. keep this very small.
#LOG:
09-13
Reverse order log
Think "captain's log" from star trek"
What's a TODO vs a LOG varies.
If a topic gets large enough, it gets put in its own txt file, like interview questions or collected notes for a single project.
[So here is where you would add stuff]
09-12
This would yesterday's notes.
09-09 Some days only deserve one line
09-08 and that's totally fine
[and here would be all your notes. This can be thousands of lines]
#BACKLOG:
Intentionally put this down here, if you run out of TODOs, then come down here
#DONE:
Tasks are moved down here once they're done. In case they need to be pulled back or at performance evaluation to remember what you've done!
