I've been running a text based todo/status doc for about that long and my hack for that particular problem is to occasionally do a scan and copy anything 'active' to the top (or bottom if you append to the end :) of the file. Yeah, there's a bit of duplication there (I usually just copy a short description and a pointer back to the date of the original so not so bad..), but it works for me.
