I have tried a lot of things and failed at keeping them up.

The two big tips that I think have worked best for me over the years, is:

- Let your code repository do most of the talking. I don't stop a work session without committing what I have been working on, and therefore I work really hard to split any work item into small chunks. Also, given that I am sometimes interrupted in the middle of some work, it really helps to try to get the code committed after every few lines of work.

- Keep the management tooling really simple, the more complex it is the harder it will be to manage. I have evolved into keeping 2-3 types of documents (in evernote): an operations cheat sheet (how to start the code, and manually how to do things especially if I have not automated it) and 2-3 types of todo lists preferable on one page (some which I need to do in an hour, others which would be good to do, and finally some which will revolutionize the industry :-) ).
