This. I use the same workflow. Also I am too lazy write and maintain notes - so I just use joplin for tags / metadata and typora (wysiwyg editor for md). Thinking and taking notes over typing on Typora is a godsend. Best $15 I have spent.

Writing todos as checkable list items in markdown and hitting them off one by one and tracking notes on the same md under different headings works like a charm. No more JIRA / excel / context switch.
