@hosford42 i use an app called todoist because it affords me cognitive offloading and agency over when i do my tasks. i tag names of long-term projects with an "ongoing" tag. i keep subtasks and notes under those main tasks. when a project i had a fiery passion for fizzles out, it'll still be around to remind me about its existence months later for triage and i can either pick it back up or throw it in the figurative dumpster.
it's a big widget on my phone's home screen so i am always aware of it. i had to train my self-discipline to not make the widget fade into the background noise. the effort ended up being worth it for me. i can also pick up my phone and send "freeze food tom" quickly for a task to freeze my leftover chicken tomorrow.
i use the free plan so i can only set "do dues" and not "due dates" but jotting deadlines down in the same task helps. as well as separating tasks into subtasks with specific dates. you can very easily manipulate your task dates as needed and there is also an "upcoming" view to help with time perspective. my time blindness is bothersome so it helps to be able to frontload this effort on assigning dates for me. it also works for me because it's not a rigid calendar/schedule.
i named a specific app there but any app or pen-and-paper system that can tag, set reminders times, and priority works.
