I don't use my notes as a todo list. I use them to document work I've already done. If I make some major changes to a piece of software, I'll list every file and method I've worked on in a tree format with bullets about what I did in each one. The bullets can be pasted directly into an SVN commit message and they're searchable with notepad++'s search box. It's a lifesaver and massively reduces complications in my life. I don't have to go back and relearn the code to answer questions about it or make small changes. I also save code snippets. Likewise a lifesaver. It's 20,000 lines and counting and I won't delete any of them.
