A locally running version instance of issue tracking software. Use whatever you're comfortable with, but I go with JIRA; It costs $10 for a license for up to 10 people.
It helps me keep track of side projects. For a long time I had trouble remembering where to pick up a project and would get distracted by unimportant parts. JIRA helps keep that to a minimum and makes me feel more serious about them.
I even keep one project setup in it for personal stuff (renew passport, etc) just to keep all the TODOs in one spot, but whenever you tell people that they always make some wise-ass crack about using it to file a bug report about you personally...

That could be an interesting way to learn more about yourself and how others perceive you. Let people file bugs against you. How am I doing as a manager? As a husband and father? Are any of the tickets being closed? It would take a pretty strong personality, though, to welcome that level of criticism.
- aarongough 17y agoI actually really like that idea! Although I would think it would be more useful in terms of filing bugs about yourself. After all if we try to change ourselves to meet everyone else's expectations then were not much more than a shell after a while...
