it's the Little structural things like loose connective tissue and mild centralization that guided me to what I currently use. At the moment, I recommend it. I keep a daily journal / log thing. it's really just a monolithic text document that I can dump thoughts onto and not really meant to be accessed as a reference. Somewhere near the bottom (at the end of the last daily chunk) I have an EOD bookmark: `,./`. because I use vim bindings (emacs-evil) this allows me to gracefully jump to the place where I start writing every day. I have a key chord bound to insert a header with the date. The interesting stuff happens just after that bookmark. I have two classes of thing here: - a short TODO that represents the 'misc' one-off tasks (get check to irs, rotate tires, call that guy back) - these are things I'll hate myself for forgetting but don't want to stop what I'm doing to take care of in the moment. - a series of headers representing deeper, longer work, with the URL of a file in that project that's structured mostly like my journal. This means I can break stuff up into subtasks with their own little todos and sub chunks, and I can navigate to those files without leaving my editor (again, vim bindings for goto -file). The most important part of this system for me is how frictionless it is. `g-f` jumps to the devlog for the thing I want to be working on, `/,./` jumps to the current point of thought, and right below that is the itemized to-do. The thing that makes me keep using it is that it's fun to use - moving around is completely intuitive (to me) and I spend almost no time wondering where to put stuff. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this specific set of shortcuts to someone else, but I highly recommend starting from the simplest, least opinionated method that works for you and building on it organically. I don't think I would have figured most of these tricks out if I had sat down and said "okay, time to make the perfect thing" edit: `.,/` => `,./` because I wrote this on mobile and forgot the order.
