I need to keep a coherent list of things that need to get done and the tasks involved in getting it there. It often involves commands and sometimes code-snippets, so a markdown file typically with a date for the file name in my work directory

For personal stuff it's currently split between a "Today I Learned" (TIL) version-controlled repo that I can grep/ripgrep from my shell to search against, but for less technical stuff, I've been using Roam Research for "networked thought" and once logged in literally drops you onto a page with the current date, reducing cognitive load on organization from the outset in relation to note-taking
