I have a lot of longer term notes that are just ideas (a.k.a "genius ideas") but written in "to-do" format. I found using different solutions for different notes is the best IMO.

MS OneNote* for all longer term to-dos, or writings I wish to archive.

Paper or notepad.exe for ephemeral to-dos.

: one large synced notebook with folders, sub-folders, and w/e nested levels it offers, but I use search anyway.* *: this can totally be replicated with documents/files, folders, and a git repo. (and maybe some markdown editor)
