Yes this is helpful. I do take extensive notes while reading books or listening to podcasts but never thought of doing it as part of work, in terms of documenting my process and make develop some kind of checklist to run before I push changes.

These used to be my style of writing notes. I usually substituted some of the information here with a link to the ticket I was working on so my points were shorter but you can be as elaborate as time allows you to. For eg:

1. X reached out asking for a financial report. Wants booking data between March'20 and June'20. More information on ticket.

2. Y let me know that I would need to check file `list_orders_service.rb` to understand our order processing logic.

3. X also wants the data to be grouped by city and ordered by most number of orders.

4. Q pinged me to let me know that there has been a new column `order_revised_on` added to the orders table and to include it in the changes I am making for the new orders page. Need to communicate the same to Y via updating the ticket.

5. M pinged me with a new bug I need to fix on priority. Confirmed with him on moving X's financial report generation to tomorrow. Will update on ticket
