Same but with Keep and GDocs. I still use a local neverending txt like TFA though, as a short-term todo list + clipboard. Short thoughts and little factoids like license plate numbers, appointments, and restaurant recommendations go on Keep (although some of those "short thoughts" have ended up busting the character limit). Refined structured notes end up in a GDoc by topic. Some of my GDocs are now the size of small textbooks. I also love Google Takeout so that I can backup it all up periodically. I would say, just as you would about OneNote, Keep is one of the most important apps in my life.

One thing I can't do is the never ending todo list, if my main todo list is too long, it's just too stressful for me. I need to break things out into other notes, or just go over it and clean it up into a manageable state. It's kind of like an inbox, you try to get it to zero, you rarely do, but the point is everything in there is on mind and actionable to some extent. You don't want to lose track of important things in some never ending list. And if they're not important, move them out into a more static list, often it's not even a todo item, but a piece of reference information that's perfect to go into it's own note of related reference information.
