People above 40, how do you remember what did you work on last week? What was the situation of that other thing/project? How do you go back/ jump arround? Something that can work with an #ADHD brain.

@kushal honestly, I don't remember what I worked on last week, but I usually don't need to. And if I need to, I look it up.
I make sure I have maintained TODOs and list of issues to work on and I focus on those in my daily life/work.

@bagder @kushal It's written in my daily notes. But I rarely need to go back and look it up. Usually on connection with some other open question, like did I do something on time (which is the reason I write this down in the first place).

@kushal I keep a daily journal, one text file per day, in three parts:
Each workday starts by reading the previous days' journal entry

@jkb I should start taking notes (again). also now saw @jason doing the same.

@jkb that's what I do too! I also separate this to work and personal buckets

@kushal I keep a journal file in #orgmode. Each day has its own entry, with tasks I work on that day. It allows me to record working time for each task and put some notes in the task if required.

@korkeala @kushal mine’s pretty similar!

@kushal I have everything in to-do lists sorted by topics. Everything. If in need to respond to an email later, I write it down. Strange thing is that I can do this at work, but tasks in my personal life are a bloody mess.

@kushal I take a few different types of notes as I work: https://hamatti.org/posts/how-i-take-work-notes-as-a-developer/
Writing notes helps process things and already helps with remembering stuff and good notes are nice to fall back to when needing to remember or review.

@kushal I do have daily journal notes, like some others here. But I also have a note per project containing all the tasks, the time tracking and a log. The most important thing for my #ADHD brain is to have things present.
Since I need the tasks, I have the project note open, see that I setup a log, and actually make some notes.
I also have a section in the daily journal entry for logging work. But that setup is less stable.

@kushal A daily workpad. It’s something I was taught to do when I was a Physics undergrad - essentially a diary of all your lab results. Programming makes it a bit easier - you don’t need long form notes, you can reference the GitHub ticket.
I do it with Obsidian, but any text editor will do; a folder per year, fresh page each week, a section a day, bullet point for each thing that was done.

@freakboy3742 I use Obsidian for long but I get overwhelmed by any feature I want to try. I should use it more.

@kushal I use the #GettingThingsDone #GTD methodology. In fact, this year will mark the 20th anniversary of me being on GTD, and I'll never use any other system again.

@kushal Like others in the thread I keep a daily journal. I also write a weekly report. In some jobs my co-workers wanted to see it, so I published it (mail, chat, whatever).
When a new week begins I can read in my report from the week before what I was doing and the status.
For the daily journal I try to prepare a standup report for the next day before ending work that day. If I don't manage that I try to do it the first thing in the morning.
I use Org Mode in Emacs for all this, obviously.

@kushal hand written log book. Before I do a thing, I write down the time and what I’m about to do. Then I do it, check it off. Write the next thing I’m going to do.
If I get an interruption, I write that in the log book as a new line. Then I can just go back to whatever line hasn’t been checked off when I’m free again and copy it to the end of the log and resume work on it.
End of each day, I’ve got a complete record of any work or work requests I received.

@kushal I look back through emails I sent and when I used to hand write things more often, I'd check the notepad I'd keep at my desk. Currently, since I hand write things less often (thanks carpal tunnel syndrome!), I review the internal Slack to see what we talked about as well as going back through old tickets.
