I keep a lot of lab notes. When I cannot think of what I need to do to move forward, I write out some lab notes of what I have done and ideas for what needs to be done. They usually aren't complex, and and often just a single line about something. I keep lab notes for whatever personal project I am currently engaged with, lab notes for the household (repairs, updates, documented procedures on how to start the furnace, etc), lab notes for work, lab notes for the RV, lab notes for the workshop, lab notes for the home network. Keeping informal notes on what has been done, what needs to be done, and thoughts about the doings has helped me immensely. An example of some of my project notes https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores I've got lab notes going back to at least the 1970's, https://justinlloyd.li/blog/word-search-game/ https://justinlloyd.li/blog/word-search-game/ (1978) and https://justinlloyd.li/blog/word-search-game-part-two/ https://justinlloyd.li/blog/word-search-game-part-two/ and https://justinlloyd.li/blog/better-date-format/ https://justinlloyd.li/blog/better-date-format/ (1979) are some samples, though I didn't call them lab notes back then.
