Every Friday I take 2 min to write a detailed note for the future me so I remember what I was doing. No matter how simple the task was.

That's cheating! Guards! Arrest this filthy impostor!

Every Friday I think that I should do this for my benefit on Monday, and then immediately forget the thought and log off

[–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Depending on how complex it could be as short as two sentences or just bullet points. Just enough to kick start my memory.

You expect me to actually comment my code?

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Not even your code. He's expecting you to comment your life.

Not code. I keep a text file "work_log.txt" on my desktop that has the date and what I worked on that day. Useful for scrum too.

Today's:

  • Finished the modal

  • Solved the swallowing of the exception with parsing errors

  • Next: Review modal code and test

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to panic in the Monday morning stand-up meeting.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yup. "finished this, start on this next week"

Usually less than two complete sentences. I find this more important with personal projects that I may not pick up in a few weeks

This is the way.
