I've used a TODO.md for years. I prefer it to a .txt as I can get some syntax highlighting in Vim.

About a year ago I merged my TODO with my work journal. So now, instead of two files I just have LOG.md with the TODO stuff at the top, a horizonal line and the journal of what I've been doing each day below.

I also copy the file (e.g. LOG-2024.md) each year and clear out the journal to keep the number of lines down.
