Organizing a project in a txt file?!.

A couple of days ago, Jhon Papa gave me the idea to organize a big project in a txt file inside of your web app project, after a lot of thinking i came around with this specific form

Today Tasks

In this section i think the title is pretty self explanatory, the idea is to write up the tasks for the day in the project, now, i know there are a lot of to do list manager that are awesome out there but remember that even tho this is a simple text file is very usefull to have it right there, inside your project, and you can acces this file very quickly without having to open a task manager app

Pending

The idea of this pending section is write up all of those tasks that you did not finish in the day, so the next day you can remember all of those things that you didnt quite finished and finish them that day before writing up new tasks

Nice Ideas

Imagine you are coding and suddenly you come across an amazing idea for the project, well, this is the section for you, you can write up there all of those nice ideas that you had while coding so you can remember them every day and maybe develop them.

Project Challenges

This is a very important section for me, we must admit that there are certain tasks that might be to hard for us to code, i called them challenges and i writem up here, all of those things that might take me a lot of time to solve, the idea here is to see them everyday as a reminder that you should go ahead and investigate how to overcome those challenges; This is exciting isnt it?, cause you know that once you overcome all of those challenges the project will be basically done.

Let me know in the comments what do you think about it?, would you use it on a real project?, do you already use something similar?

I think for most people it might be easier to use a task management system like the one GitHub has.
