It took me a few times to land on something I stuck with. At my current job I have a running doc where I just start a new entry per day, at the top and log before I try to do something, and what progress I made that day.
What maybe helps is this doc is findable and readable by coworkers and my boss. It is very useful for me, but it's also helpful for others to see what I'm working on without pinging me.
- WOTERMEON 2y agoI do kind of the same but I’d be concerned to have it readable and n not private. But maybe I shouldn’t be. What’s your thoughts on having it open? I think it would be the first in the company if it’d do that.
- wombat-man 2y agoEh, I just try to not slack off too much. I've been doing this for nearly 2 years and so far only benefits as far as I can tell. I think very few people look at it besides myself and occasionally my boss.
- WOTERMEON 2y agoYeah I definitely don’t slack off (at this job, I’m precious it was terrible), so that wouldn’t be the concern. It’s more like I think I’m quite a private person. What would be the benefits that you’ve seen out of it?
- wombat-man 2y agoUh, I think just having a clear record of what I did when is helpful. It also is motivating to me, I want to close out items not just write that I started something. I sometimes also put in a todo there if there is just something small at the top of the stack I want to do tomorrow. I'll see the todo there and deal with it first.
