(1) Stop working in the middle of something, so when you get back you don't have to guess what next. It's an old hack (2) Keep a "what's next" list of 3-5 items, in addition to the project plan/to-do list (3) Do try to work, or just open it, every day. Even 15 minutes a day. It's not only the time you work on it, but also you keep thinking and solving and innovating during the day

I like hack (1) a lot. But at least for me, it's hard to stop my brain when it's in the middle of something, I have this rush to get it done, which is why I like working on my own stuff of the side.

But maybe stopping at a reasonable midpoint without, like a subfunction, is a good idea. What kind of midpoints do you use?

Nothing special, really. On a virtual machine you can even leave everything open as is, so it's ready to continue. If I'm near a commit, I will not commit until next time. Then I start with the commit review, and commit.
