What gives you the impression that Org-mode is complicated?

The Org method would use only _one_ basic Org command: apart from C-n,
C-p and C-s, you'd only need C-c C-t (unless you are fine with typing
TODO/DONE manually).  Of course, you'd also be free to use C-c C-n/C-c
C-p, C-c C-f/C-c C-b and above all C-c C-/, which could be tremendously
helpful.

Best,
