There are some methods to figure out where you were - I will not prescribe one, but a few are; leave work unfinished, manage a trello board with small functional pieces and prioritize the list, write lots of comments, write non-passing tests, etc.

Also, if you're putting in an hour a night, why are you updating packages?

I find that writing myself a note with the next couple of things I need to do or try out (if I'm stuck) really helps.

True, it's more like an hour every few days.
