      I guess I must have way more tasks than you, then, because I can’t be bothered with the past, haha; too much to do! No problem; to each their own.

        I have a shell alias that opens a task file named YYYY-MM.md. This keeps the notes from getting too long. It has really helped me out in meetings where we need some kind of reference to what decisions were made or when something happened. So it serves as a work log and a task list.

        Splitting by month also helps me trim tasks from the list that were not completed but are no longer high priority. They just don’t get copied to the new list. I can still look back to see things I had aspired to but never did. Like “yes, you asked me to do that 3 months ago and then it was deprioritized.”
