#+title: Work log
|
|
|
|
I keep a daily journal using [[id:4d7dffe3-4af4-41d0-85a2-270a20593c8d][Org Mode]] of the things I do while working, tracking
|
|
what I did, why, and how. I make generous use of executable code snippets to
|
|
store what I run in the document alongside the results I get from them.
|
|
|
|
While this is useful from a purely historical perspective, it's very hard to go
|
|
back and find entries relating to particular issues or projects. Even when I can
|
|
find entries, they tend to be extremely narrowly focused to the exact problem
|
|
being tackled at the time, and as they're written in the heat of solving those
|
|
problems, they don't tend to include much elaboration on the bigger picture. The
|
|
difficulty in sifting through a chronological work journal with entries of
|
|
varying quality is noted plainly in Dr. Ahren's book, specifically [[file:20200716231656-how_to_take_smart_notes.org::*Chapter 6: Simplicity Is Paramount][Chapter 6:
|
|
Simplicity Is Paramount]].
