I keep an “engineering logbook”. I surely helps me put things into perspective, I can’t say that it made me more “productive”, but it sure raises awareness on issues and this is enough.
I prefer pen and paper by far, so I ordered a personalised notebook, it is pretty good looking, most wouldn't touch it, but I'm planning on doing a collection of them.
By personalised I mean that it has my name on it and reads "Engineering Logbook #1". I ordered this book from Stamford Notebooks[1]. No affiliation, but they're I'm planning to ask some customisations when I order "#2".

- vanzorn 9y agoRan out of ink, did we? Leucchterm 1917 notebooks are awesome for logging / bullet notebooks - especially the dot grid ones. On the digital side, I was inspired to start using Org mode by following Sacha Chua's map approach: http://sachachua.com/blog/2014/01/tips-learning-org-mode-emacs/ http://sachachua.com/blog/2014/01/tips-learning-org-mode-ema...
- atmosx 9y agoI used quite a few digital Journals. I still keep a personal, private one, encrypted with GPG using vim and some basic automation via shell. I rarely write there. I like writing and have a lot to write about but I prefer physical journals by far... My handwriting is ugly too but I won't give up!
