This needs a mobile app to be useful to me. I started doing this with a google doc, but didn't keep at it because going to the form to fill it out was too much overhead. Instead, I've been using Task:Life on android. I wish it had a wider variety of inputs other than binary checkboxes, but it basically works. Highly recommend a mobile app for it, because getting a notification and filling it out in a few taps is basically the limit for the amount of time I'm happy regularly devoting to this.

As noted elsewhere, this system is not designed to be used as things happen. It's meant to be filled out once at the end of each day and should take no longer than a few minutes. It's supposed to be as non-intrusive as possible. That being said, several folks have mentioned this so it's a possibility down the road, maybe.

  It would be nice to have an iphone app set up with an automatic reminder so it would pop up a notification everyday at 10pm asking me to fill out my form which I could do straight from the app.

  I know. I don't record things as they happen with Task:Life either. I get a notification on my phone every morning, currently set to 7AM. I tap the notification, tap the things I remember doing on the previous day, done. It works great. My only complaints are that the fields are all binary, and the analytics it provides are lacking. I'm not looking at my computer in the evenings, and I don't want to. Computers these days are for work. If I'm on the internet in leisure time, ~80% of the time it's on a phone. A phone app is perfect for this. A website that I have to remember about, then visit, then wait for it to load, then scroll around, is way too much overhead for me to consistently do it. That's why I abandoned the solution I had using google docs forms.
