I have found that it really really helps to keep a notebook and keep a running list per day of all the things I HAVE to do that day

I work as a developer/ cloud IT engineer. All day long people mention something in meetings or I need to check the uptime/status of a particular asset. It was getting to be too much to keep track of every little thing I had to do.

I eventually settled for writing down things mentioned to me, or things that I'm reminded of. The vast majority of my work I remember, don't need to write down to keep track of.

Glancing over this, I get that it's incredibly vague advice. But following a version of this, and starting a new page every day, has really helped me keep track of things.

I do this as well but I use Obsidian (yes I know it's closed source VC ware, bite me) because I'm already at my computer.

I just might have to look into that

No worries, while I agree it's good to support FOSS alternatives...

A lot of software development is commercially driven, and that's not a bad thing.
