My take is I have way too many windows open and I am always switching from this to that and the last thing I want is to do is add another web browser tab to make it harder to find other tabs.
For personal projects I write a lot of notes into .md files or comments but keep task lists as paper notes on letter pads. When the list gets too messy I copy the whole list by hand which means I keep on top of it. I'd argue that

I like that practice. That way you’re always conscious of everything in flight and stuff isn’t slipping through the cracks. Will be looking into that system more
