Question for software developers: how do you organize your To Do list at work?
I'm asking because I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I'm working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and ideas I want to bring up, etc. The way I organize the document works pretty well for me, but I'm just curious how other people do it.

Org-mode FTW! You only need to know emacs for it, which you can master in just a couple of measly decades.
Jokes aside, org-mode is unironically incredible. I use something called Getting Things Done (GTD). I do not regret spending some weeks truly learning about it.
This! Orgmode for all internal stuff, Jira for when my team needs to be in the loop.
Being a vim user for 30 years I'm often tempted to learn emacs purely for org mode. But then i remember emacs is evil and go back to todo.txt and vimwiki and I'm content.
There is evil-mode in emacs, just saying...
Yeah. Org mode isn't that great 😃
-.-
As a college student, org mode is one of the best tools I've ever come across.
Is there a version for neovim users?
It's not as fully-featured as the Emacs one, but yes: https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode
That's alright, I'll check it out. Thanks!
You might also like https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg which is not meant to be compatible with Emacs org-mode, but rather something new that's built around similar ideas but for Neovim. Hadn't used it myself though, only heard about it.
Oh that looks interesting! I'll have to check it out, thanks!
Neorg is what I know of, and seems the most mature / recently updated.
Are you being sarcastic, or is there actually a tool with this name?
Its a good book to read. Highly recommend.
Also look up 43 folder by Merlin Mann.
The one by David Allen?
Yeah.
Much of it was obvious, a few new ideas. But it was good to just reinforce the whole process. It's all about you building your own strategy so whatever works for you.
There is, and there's a book that describes the philosophy.
