How do you manage your thoughts, projects, todos, texts? How do you manage your life?
I write hundreds of thoughts daily (into notepad). I also have projects with document files and other resources. I have todo lists etc
Should I instead use (offline) wiki software? What are advantages and disadvantages?
what do you think of WikidPad (and similar, offline personal wiki) compared to folders & text files, when it goes to personal projects management and life managment?

I tried a wiki for a while but found it less convenient than just having text files I can easily leave in useful places or check in with related projects.
Notes app on my phone with a "NotePad' file, currently about 92k characters big, that's how I manage my thoughts and other shit.
A simple todo list for software things, but for things I study I like to keep a journal.
For mathematics in particular, I make note of things problems I found difficult to solve, and any stumbling blocks I encountered in certain material or proofs. I do this because I kept forgetting things I'd learned in years prior, yet after revisiting the material I would remember encountering the very same sticking points. For instance, I would recall contemplating a problem before, remember solving it, but not the thought process it took to do so!
I use my large brain
I throw shit at trello.
I do not use phone app as phones are botnets and can be stolen too.
My main thought file is about 2 500 000 (2.5m) characters. I also have some older files that can be another hundred thousands.
I am slowly moving thoughts into separate files (one or more files per topic), but maybe I should move them to personal wiki instead?
Also was considering doing some semi-automatic move of thoughts from this file, especially that often I use some kind of tags, so it is possible to use tool to search them depending on tags and cut from the main file.
Have fun losing your digital mind when they close your account for wrongthink.
Nobody who uses Holla Forums has that many thoughts on a daily basis that are worth recording.
I just use plain text file, or even pen & paper (especially if it involves drawing). If something complicated has to be visualized, a program like graphviz can be useful. I use that sometimes to understand how a big program fits together when I'm taking over maintenance or need to make a modification. I've even gone so far as to print out the graph and use coloring pencils to indicate related items (like all functions part of one module).
