I really like this article. Thanks to reading it last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22276184) it validated the idea of using simple files.

I used to try various productivity apps because I thought I needed something to help with reducing the "amount of willpower" I needed to keep a to do list.

Ultimately I realized I had been using Sublime Text for years to take temporary notes in a very unorganized manner. Since April 2021 I'm happy with the todo lists/notes I keep in Sublime.
