I ask my junior sysadmins / new hires to write a daily log for their first year or so.
What did you do today?
What do you need help with?
What went well?
What was frustrating?
What should we change or fix?
When we get together to talk about their day or their week, these logs are extremely useful. Sometimes they generate tickets, sometimes book or course recommendations, people to talk to, sometimes just conversations.
