I’ve been using Roam for about four weeks (found via the Zettelkasten Method article linked in an earlier comment). I wholeheartedly agree with every claim above- Roam lets me freely write down things I want to remember, in a way that I can trust future-me will actually be able to use.
I track commitments using the /TODO feature, and have found that it doesn’t even matter when and where I write it (it doesn’t even have to be on the page for the relevant project), because all you have to do is browse to the page “TODO” to see all your to-do items.
When you check them off (“{{[[todo]]}}” renders as a clickable checkbox), the word “TODO” gets replaced with “DONE” and thus the item vanishes from the TODO page.
I too make a page for anything I want to mentally upgrade to a “project”; my rule of thumb is anything that is going to require meetings is a ‘Project’ rather than just a ‘Task’. I also throw the #project tag into it somewhere.
I also encourage this as a lifehack: make a page for ”?” and periodically review any questions you’ve written down.
I keep the follow pages in my favorites: TODO, DONE, ?, and any active projects.
