I recently started playing around with [DrWatson](https://juliadynamics.github.io/DrWatson.jl/dev/), and it seems extremely nice so far (up to some [rough edges](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-based-makefile-replacement-for-research-workflows/74368)).

Also, personally (even from before trying out `DrWatson`) I’ve found it extremely helpful to include a date prefix (`YYYY-MM-DD_`) in the filenames of all scripts and notebooks.
