I've found it to be really helpful to keep a project work log when working alone. Mine are very verbose and help the most at the time of writing, since it keeps me on task and solidifies ideas.
My friend does the same thing, here's what he wrote about it recently:

- etler 13y agoKinda sounds like a rubber duck debugging strategy.
- ibash 13y agoI do the same thing, but not just when working alone -- I just use a a text file in dropbox + vim. For more complicated tasks I create check lists before hand (to make sure I cover the edge cases), and sometimes create "Testing:" check lists to make sure I also test all the edge cases. I also have free form text when I'm thinking about a problem, or when I get feedback about different things. It's organized by day and is invaluable, with a simple search I can find out what I worked on any day -- really good for reflection and marking progress.
