I have literally just completed mine.
I always dread it in prospect and am always somewhat relieved that it's not too bad to do.
I have an Excel file set up to enter the various figures needed to arrive at the totals required - e.g. total income in rent from let property - and a note to remind me where to access those figures. I also download a copy of my current account statements for the relevant financial year, to avoid having to continually reopen them online.
Every year I get a modest refund - this time it will be £344 - so I don't understand why my PAYE (taken from my occupational pension) is always set too high (apart from the cynical idea that Her Majesty's government wishes to borrow tax-free money from me).
"... all yous who haven't got round to it yet, be consoled that the £100 penalty will not be enforced this year according to the boss, because of 'Covid'."
- I believe this is not quite right. You have until the end of February to file and thus avoid the penalty, but if you owe tax you will be charged interest.
