      One of the unanticipated but really nice features of this is as soon as I hear something I need to do, I put the todo down in place...

    And it can live anywhere, because I can search the repo globally for - [ ] and get all incomplete todos.

      When someone mentions a project I don't know about yet I can bold it and track it with a regex search /\*\*(.*)\*\*/.

        If someone gives me an idea for a project I might want to take on, I can italicize it and regex on that - /\*\*\*(.*)\*\*\*/

          I've a file for top level assessments, complete & hanging definitions, and overall notes, but also a folder structure to basically adhoc CRM

            Completed tasks get pulled into their own folder & docs so I can track progress. I can rely on Git to tell me where they came from

              I can also use search restrictions for folders to find things only in their meetings' context, from people, or by product.

                I've found its helped find convergences on particular topics or issues. Hard to know how well it'll work long term, but here's hoping!

                  It would be a cool side project to build a little rendering engine around the folder that supplements how I use it. One day mby.

                    I've used more complex & 'professional' organizational tools, but they always get overcomplicated and then I'd end up using them less.

                      Goal was to simplify to basic needs. I need to tool to: help me remember things, keep track of convo threads with people, run my todos

                        So far pretty useful in that regard.
