Its a struggle for me to get any momentum going on personal projects. I think its because I'm a person that is externally motivated - like I know I get paid, promotions potentially, etc. via my employment. When it comes to personal projects I can't get going. I only mention this because I would also change out what/how I use to manage the work thinking that would change and I'd get more done, its never worked. Things I've used along the way: trello, wiki, pen and paper, various apps like todoist, etc.

This is simple, I add just the most basic information needed to keep me going. You could replicate the same system with just a txt file on your machine, apple notes, etc.

I’ve gotten into the habit of just pasting my notion todo lists into Claude code and telling it to fix things. Works great.
