This is what I do with my "Daily Brain Dump". I use Apple Notes bc it syncs up nicely with my phone. Every day I add a new entry to the top of the note. Mix of TODO's and a journal. Actually have two files, one for my life in general and one for work.

Exactly this. I realized that full featured tools like OmniPlan made increased my anxiety because it is too easy the build up to do items that you would never do. Having a simple note pad forces me to delete unnecessary cruft every week since I have to manually copy it. Also the notes approach gives me one place to look for and summarize all of my activities.
