I currently use markdown and vim to document work and my thoughts. For general todos, I have one big file that has each day as a new header. Kinda like this:

  ## 2021-09-17
  - personal
    - [ ] walk dog
  - work
    - [ ] catch up on email

  ## 2021-09-16
  - personal
    - [x] meal planning
  - work
    - [x] fix bug
     - [x] recreate locally
     - [x] write tests
     - [x] submit PR


For big tasks that take a ton of time, I typically create a file dedicated to that to just work through my thoughts around the task. I would link the file in my daily todo file so it's easy for me to find if needed in the future.
