Ｔｈe sentences below state a way to prevent forgetting things.
Using 'what' instead of 'something' is better or is 'something' OK?
Write down something you have to do on your hand so that you won't forget it.
Write a note on your hand , and you won't forget something you must do.
Thank you in advance!

What seems a little more natural to me, but both are OK.

"Write down what..." means you have to write everything whereas "write down something" probably only means one thing.
