My productivity app is just todo.txt in one drive using specificaly notepad.exe.
You put .LOG at the top of the new file with a return. Save and close the file.
Every time you reopen the file, the timestamp is append to the file. Add your notes, save, exit notepad. Open it again when you need to update, rinse and repeat.
Nothing I’ve ever tried has been more effective than just keeping this endless file.
