What I do:

1. Add TODO items when I'm in flow

2. When I'm not in flow, I search TODO items in code/notes I own

3. Add a basic task in a project management tool with no estimations for each TODO item

At least then it's in a system to be triaged at some point.

For me TODO is more literal, reserved for things that must be done. So, I use SMELL if it's unsane. If it's somewhat broken, I use BUG, and file a low priority issue. For both, I put long explanations, in the code, for the future reader.
