The last thing I want to do in my side projects is to use the same technology I spend all day with at work, so instead of any software, my side projects use old-fashioned 3x5 cards in a box, with dividers for what part of the project they involve (entirely arbitrary, but how I like to think of dividing my project).

The cards are my literal "tickets" that I write TODOs on (features/bugs, etc) as I think of them and put them in the appropriate divider. Then when I'm just relaxing away from a computer I go through and sort them manually by priority, like any PM would groom a backlog. When I feel like working on particular part of my project, I grab the top card for that part.

It's nice to have at least SOME part of my day where I'm not staring at a screen.
