Get a nice notebook and a nice pen. The dimensions of the book will matter depending on the constraints you want to set.

I usually use the front of a page to list the main tasks, the back of a page for smaller tasks/tweaks. Cross things off as you go.

One page per user story is the primary constraint. Otherwise the plan is too big and needs to be split.

If you need the validation feedback, there’s nothing like a notebook with pages of marked off tasks.

You can take this many ways, I usually draw lines between chunks of connected tasks, box critical things, etc. The interesting thing about this ad hoc approach is that you will basically discover your organic organization process, which could lend to building your own better tools (or at least it is definitely informing what I would build).
