Usually, I like my tech, but I do best when I keep it analog. Over the years I've created my own sort of shorthand for to-do lists.
I use circles in a similar manner for appointments and meetings, as well as a star system for importance:
* = important
** = very important
*** = ridiculously important
FTLG = "for the love of God" -- usually for tasks I've been avoiding
Notebook: Leuchtturm 1917 with dotted grid. I used to use the "Whitelines" edition, but the Whitelines only has one bookmark ribbon sewn into the spine. The ordinary version has two bookmark ribbons, which is more useful for me since I frequently flip back and forth.
Writing implement: Fisher Space Pen with black grid and Rite in the Rain refills. (The black grid design seems to no longer be available affordably, but there's also a gold grid version which costs about what I paid for mine.) I've been on a mechanical pencil kick lately though.
I’m a developer with 15-years of experience in the .Net stack as well as an interest in Angular.I’m known for taking legacy projects and updating them so they can be maintainable and have new features
Yeah, I frequently end up with "off-kilter" boxes. Using dot grid paper helps. I struggle with perfectionism though, so when I end up with triangles and odd trapezoids I try to just roll with it as long as they don't obscure the meaning of what I'm trying to write down.

Damn, That notebook is AWWWESOOMEEE !!
I use the rapid logging version, circles, too because I could never draw a consistent box when I was rapidly writing things down.
