Similar. I generally use a notepad (hardcopy) and some sort of textfile or email based system.

Notepad: date at the top of the page, things to do transferred from yesterday plus new items as they go.

Text files: I've created a number of systems which operate based on timestamped files living in a directory which I scan regularly. And email folder can also be used (the metadata's useful, but not entirely appropriate). Otherwise, inserting the date/time via a script and opening the file is pretty straightforward. Doing this one a daily basis (date +%Y%m%d), and including yesterday or most-recent file as "old todo") might be a reasonable way of working. Ultimately it's a highly flexibly, lightly structured system.
