I have two files I use.

1. todo.md

2. scratchpad.md

I put my tasks for each project in the todo file separated by headings. I put random notes in the scratchpad file as they pop (ex, need to update x dependency in project y, etc). I then organize my scratchpad and create new todo items if needed at the end of the day.

This. I use the same workflow. Also I am too lazy write and maintain notes - so I just use joplin for tags / metadata and typora (wysiwyg editor for md). Thinking and taking notes over typing on Typora is a godsend. Best $15 I have spent.

Writing todos as checkable list items in markdown and hitting them off one by one and tracking notes on the same md under different headings works like a charm. No more JIRA / excel / context switch.
