This is my workflow and has been for the past 10 years or so.

Whenever you think of something else that needs doing, write it down so you stop feeling the need to keep it in mind.

Excellent; but does it ever get done?

[TeMPOraL]

Yes. In particular, if you use the same place to note down things you want to do in the first place. Then it boils down to continuously reviewing the list and picking the next thing to work on.

This is a reason why I generally avoid using TODO/FIXME type comments in my code. I'm much more likely to forget about them, whereas I always need to look at my org-mode project file to see what I need to do. So that's where I put them.
