Fantastic!!. 'Git' can be a great tool to simplify lots of the day-to-day activities.

I use 'Bitbucket' for similar purpose, but only for tracking my office work. I use 'markdown' for taking notes & to-do list.

Here's how I have been doing it. You might find it useful.

Here's a blog I posted some time ago.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing your experience! It also seems a good way to organize dev-notes, for example! However for the tasks I still prefer the Github Projects (I think Bitbucket already has a similar feature) because it allows me write each task in more detail and follow what needs to be finished easily. Although I see some advantages of using a Markdown file, such as managing the tasks everywhere, independently of the software you use for managing git repositories.

If you change the date format in your last screenshot to YYYY-MM-DD, then they'll sort alphabetically chronologically. So 2017-10-02.
