I picked up bullet journaling a few years back and that’s how I track my work:

o Sales meeting with Foo Corp

- Suggested to Sam that we use PostgreSQL

- Made us $X by doing $Y (star drawing)

. Fix a thing

/ In the process of fixing a thing

X Done fixing the thing

And that’s about it. I write this in an epaper notebook (Supernote Nomad) that I take everywhere in the office. At a glance I can tell you what I’m working on, what I did, and who I told what. And when I’m writing my annual self-review, I can search it for the star drawings to know what I can brag about.

I specifically do this instead of an iPad because I found it vastly less distracting during meetings. I tend to leave it laying there while I look at the speakers and pay attention, rather than just checking Slack really quickly, and oh, better look at my email, etc.

This is salve for my ADHD-scalded mind.
