I'm sorry, but I don't understand the value in keeping such a narrative. Maybe it's inspiring to you, but it just demoralizes me to think "Well I had a month of solid progress...then 3 months of nothing. I'd be done by now if Life hadn't happened to me." When I look at my self-driving trash can frame, or my fridge monitor, I don't want to remind myself that I haven't had time to work on them since 2012. I just want to start making progress again and having fun.

"The truth will set you free--but first it will make you miserable." Less cynically and more constructively: If you have projects or components that you weren't able to touch for a long while, then orienting notes seem even more valuable. They can help reset your context and get you back up to speed, working in a productive direction more quickly than if you come back to a project and have to relearn what you were doing and where you were heading.
