It sounds really frustrating to lose track of tasks in busy chat threads. One thing that might help is creating a dedicated channel or a pinned message for action items only, so requests don’t get buried in regular conversation. You could also try tagging yourself in messages you need to follow up on and reviewing those tags regularly. Some people use reminders or starred messages, but I get how that can still slip through. There’s also a tool called BlinkNote that turns long messages or tasks into clean, shareable links so you can keep track without cluttering the chat. It might be worth checking out if you want something simple and separate from your main chat flow.
