i arrived at this setup with three learnings over the past 2 decades:

written notes are simple but not readable too often especially when written on the go

all tools eventually let you down, sudden duplicates, missing entries (an accidentally unlocked phone in the pocket and your tasks can randomly disappear) proprietary companies closing down or changing, forgetting to maintain some self hosted solution etc.

the things i want to do and never finish or start are growing so much quicker than anything done that there is not even a point in sorting or tagging or anything where finishing the task is an important part of the workflow. in the end you only can do one single thing, and most people know intuitively what that is.
