Yeah, I've been doing this since the start of 2013. Last thing I do each day along with filling out my time card.

I usually recap what I worked on, conversations I had, other project / teammate updates, where I left off, stuff I learned or fixed, and where I need to pick up the next day.

I used RedNotebook for the first few years, then switched to Boostnote because of its Markdown support and snippet syntax highlighting. One note per day, organized into folders by month.

It also is hugely valuable when performance review season rolls around. I can go through the whole year in a few minutes and remind myself of all the tasks I worked on, then summarize those in the "what I did" section.
