Writing stuff down is the most important part for ny organization and sanity. My thoughts are always scrambled, there’s too many of them and I forget about important stuff constantly. So I write this shit down. Not only todolists, also my ideas, emotions, conclusions, thoughts.
However organizing all that writing was hard as well, especially with a perfrctionist drive and overthinking all the mundane shit like “how many pages should I leave for this”, " where to write this new idea down" and being irritated by some of my writing and strikethroughs.
Now back to the main question - I bought an e-ink device with a stylus. Now I write all the stuff on a tablet. It has almost no other functions other than reading ebooks (and sideloading an app to synchronize my files). There’s nothing to distract me there and I can organize my notes, thoughts, files however I like. When I finish an item, I remove it, it leaves my mind completely. My lists stopped being an incoherent mess and get cleaner with every item I tick off.
It all gives me a feeling of organization and ease of mind where done stuff disappears from my notes. And writing has the benefit of looking at my thoughts and seeing them from another perspective, often proving that lots of stuff is not that hard after all.
