I do something similar, and in fact have some useful bash scripts to help me remember to log stuff. Basically it's a script that pops up a reminder window at regular intervals, with options for daemonising, and enabling/disabling while daemonised, and auto-enabled at startup if it's a new day. Plus, it integrates with a pomodoro timer/logger I've written, such that all the "tomatoes" (i.e. pomodoro sessions) I've done the day before automatically get added to the log at the start of a new day. They're fairly simple scripts, but happy to share if anyone's interested.
