My Google doc for next year includes
1. Items I need to purchase (eg milchig measuring cups)
2. Recipes that were a success
3. Location of items to be unpacked first (the signs that we tape on the sold cabinets, the oven mitts and pots for kashering)
4. Amounts of matza, romaine lettuce and wine we used)
5. Shelf stable food we are storing till next year

My Google calendar has reminders starting the day after Purim for things I don't want to leave for the last minute (prepare 10 pieces of bread, clean the air conditioner vents)

I know I should do this but I literally can't not procrastinate pesach prep

Same OP.
I also wrote down my menu and cooking list. So I can know how many of each thing I need. Like 4 potato kugels, 2 squash kugels...

I have a notebook in which I record all of the above and more, including whom we hosted and when, what I put away and need not buy, what I used up or kept for chometz and need to replace (including non-foods like tablecloths and dishwashing gloves or dish drainers) and what I didn't have but would like to get, like certain serving pieces, tools or Haggaddahs.

I revisit certain things from time to time, since product formulas change and what was good or bad five or ten years ago may no longer be.

Excellent post Smile

You may consider printing out a list and keep it in your wallet which items you need to buy. OK, if it's only once small item you don't really need. But if you need to buy many items better to keep a list throughout the year and when you see a good sale you shop at a bargain price, even if it's in the middle of the summer.

Same. Got rid of 2 items I realized were extra and didn't want to store anymore (found people who were happy to take the pesach items).
And just ordered the items I felt we needed for pesach. I'll be adding them to the pesach closet so they're ready to use for next year.
