I've been a sysadmin then devops for 25 years now. I still write down reminders and steps to every process.
I was migrating an existing internal web app from a manual process with some shell scripts for deployment, over to Terraform. I wrote down every major step, every file that needed to be added, every environment that it needed to be tested in.
Don't try chasing things like org-mode or some software solution first. Build a process that works for you with something like a big hardback dotted/squared paper notebook. Here's something I wrote a couple of years ago, I hope it helps you: https://gist.github.com/anthonyclarka2/0485b49abd29fbac77bed...
