I switch between commonly used apps with a single shortcut (e.g. ⌥E opens VSCode, ⌥D opens Chrome). Details http://frantic.im/macos-app-shortcuts

I use a simple TODO file for side projects https://blog.frantic.im/all/todo-file-for-personal-projects/

I love shortcuts to switch applications. I made my touchbar useful with that: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNJWNH0Fjf4dUVWqYV3093T...

Doesn't help with multiple windows of the same app, I'd guess?

That is/was a big problem with MacOS for me - I tried using alternative application switchers that displayed an icon for each window instead...

Then kinda settled in just using spaces and putting VsCode, Chrome and Iterm on the same places every time.
