I mean, i currently put everything that needs doing into org-mode, clock in on the task when i'm working on it, and clock out when i'm done. Mark the task completed, and archive done tasks daily to an archive file.
I guess that's the limit of my daily "todo" activities. It's mostly in point form "x needs doing", "request confirmation from x", "send status on project x to y".
If i'd have to do it in a "daily file" i have no idea how to structure it. Todo'ish lists probably wouldn't work. They're either done or they're not. I guess it would have to be more like "short stories".
