    Every Friday I take 2 min to write a detailed note for the future me so I remember what I was doing. No matter how simple the task was.

      Every Friday I think that I should do this for my benefit on Monday, and then immediately forget the thought and log off

        Depending on how complex it could be as short as two sentences or just bullet points. Just enough to kick start my memory.

        Not code. I keep a text file “work_log.txt” on my desktop that has the date and what I worked on that day. Useful for scrum too.

        Today’s:

        • Finished the modal

        • Solved the swallowing of the exception with parsing errors

        • Next: Review modal code and test

      Yup. “finished this, start on this next week”

      Usually less than two complete sentences. I find this more important with personal projects that I may not pick up in a few weeks
