I write everything down in markdown files. I'd love to sync it to a secure repository, but I haven't looked into it. I suppose I could establish a gitlab setup at home, but maybe there is something better? Anyway, for now it's in a private gitHub repo, and if I feel like it shouldn't be written down, I don't.
As far as tracking the actual work, I've started taking note of tasks I've done more than a few times so that the next time they show up, I will have a realistic expectation for my estimate.
I wouldn't feel so bad about using the cloud-based Gitlab or GitHub services, and I have done so in the past. If you have anything that you deem sensitive, an easy thing I have done is to add my "bare" markdown (*.md) files to .gitignore and then use PGP to encrypt them into *.pgp extension and then check in only the PGP-encrypted files. That should be more secure than a privately-hosted instance.

Wow..that's dope. Good way check-in secure stuff.
This is so obvious. Must be why I missed it! Thanks, Scott!
PGP? why not OpenSSL = AES
Sure, that would work similarly
How about gist's?
Privately hosted gists? Is that what you mean?
Yes
