I have a "monthly log" google doc that's always open in my browser (it's tab#2). At the top of each day's entry, I just have a list of TODOs for the day. Below the TODOs are the running thoughts I have as I'm getting stuff done. Every day, yesterday's undone TODOs get copied to today's, and there's a different section for long-term TODOs. This means I see my tasks every day and I can make things as done (bold/unbold) pretty easily.

(Not to assume that something similar will work for you, but basically accessibility and making sure I see my TODOs every day is pretty helpful for me to remember to do them)
