Can be done, but I'd recommend just using trello (or OneNote if you're old school)

I like using OneNote so I can write it down with pen/stylus.

We use SmartSheets. Easy to share & collaborate with clients & vendors for updating field notes on projects. I’ve used excel in the past & still do, but as far as project management, it’s a great tool

I like using Monday

I use it for limited scope projects with fixed tasks or checklists.

Ditto - have done, still do sometimes, but there are better tools out there.
