As a solo game dev, I've tried a number of various project management tools that I use in my DevOps day job... from Trello to Planner to Jira to Azure DevOps. I like Azure DevOps work items the best, but the reality is that for a solo developer, I've found all of these tools create far too much overhead (so that I spend more time managing the project rather than making actual progress on it).

So for practical use... I tend to write my ToDo list on a whiteboard near my workstation.

When I complete items from the whiteboard, I move them into an Excel spreadsheet where I can add greater detail about the resolution/solution.

When I'm ready to release a version update, I take the notes scribbled into that Excel sheet and turn them into properly formatted update notes.
