This is a good one, I forgot that one. How I do it is I type up the notes at the end of my day, I always put them in a file called "STATE" in whatever directory I'm working in. I document what I was trying to do, how far I had gotten, what I think I need to do next. I can't tell you the number of times that as I'm writing up the notes I go "ahhhhh, that's it!" and off I go for another few hours and actually finish. And in the times where I leave it, it's so much faster to get up to speed the next day after reading the STATE file. And my coworkers at the time knew that I did this and would do stuff like $ cd /home/bk/lm $ find . -name STATE -mtime -1 to see what I was working on. Not saying that's a good way to communicate, but it worked for us at the time.
