1. Salary

2. Clearly stated what would day-to-day look like. Not a list of 25 things one should do ranging from reading log files to configuring scalable systems.

3. Writing anything that may be red flag. For example one would be the only IT guy there, mandatory oncall during nights, mandatory overtimes, etc...

I use notepad on windows and on Linux text editor. It is fast and simple. It's really easy to use during meetings and it's extremely fast which is important for me. When task is finished I just delete the rows I don't need anymore.

I use one line for one task. If I need to write subtasks or some points I use tabs under that task. For different days I use visual separators like ---- or ===.

Example:

===Today===

First task

Second task

I used several tools (trello, offline notepad like apps, regular notepad, Google docs, todoist, to do list, wunderlist, etc...) and the easiest/fastest fór mne is Google keep. It works on both Pc/mobile and your can make several checklist fór different projects
