I've ended up with two different methods of similar (over?) simplicity. The fun part of side projects is that there's less communication and priorities are based on little more than our own interest.

1. A TODO text file on the project root. It's harder to get more natural that editing in vim or whatever you use. I keep different lists for features, tech debt, research, etc and slowly pluck items into the immediate todo list. What's the point of a commit? Check the line deleted from TODO

2. Google Keep is surprisingly great. Every project I work on has at least one list there so I can jot notes down where ever I am. Even offline. Some projects are entirely in Keep.

Remember why you started a project. Is it for fun? Focus on the thing that interests you most right now. Profit? Focus on proving your biggest assumption.
