I find I do much better at coming back to solo/personal stuff if I use an issue tracker anyway, even in the early stages where I'm not so much managing bugs as chunking into bite-size pieces as you describe, so I always try to do that now.

It makes me less likely to leave the repo with some staged changes, some unstagrd changes, and no idea what I was doing when I come back to it - but even if that does happen it makes it easier to work out.
