I started using a tool called Obsidian and making tasks for myself in todo list form interspaced into daily notes, it has worked so far for the last few months and I am able to prioritize better.

One particular incantation of this is I had something complex I wanted to create with a lot of dependencies and steps. I created a kanban style ticket board for myself and was very successful, essentially distilling todo lists into a scoped ticket, via obsidian. I was honestly a little blown away by the whole thing.

Basically the whole thing is integrated into Obsidian as plugins that I fold into my daily calendar and routine. Take notes in meetings or anytime I think of something, and in the middle of notes add a checkbox which gets populated on a master to do list tied to my calendar.
