Similar to that, when I want to get something (not work related) progress, I think about it on my breaks etc and then I text myself on Signal ("Note to shelf").

Then on Friday night (if not sooner) I go through all these self-messages, I clean them up, and there I have a well rounded next steps on whichever project I work on (coding, building a feeding station for birds, etc)(for drawings I either use A4 and black ink, or the Jotr app)
