| log.txt I KISS with just a text file. I've tried other methods but only this one stuck. I like Sublime and VS Code b/c hyperlinks can be command+clicked to open. They've also never lost a single character of information, which I cannot say for any other editor, even vim. Here's how it's formatted: #TODOS: one line per item try to keep this small once they're done, move to end of file (cut line, cmd+down, paste) #STICKY: short reference, stuff you would normally put in a sticky note on your monitor. keep this very small. #LOG: 09-13 Reverse order log Think "captain's log" from star trek" What's a TODO vs a LOG varies. If a topic gets large enough, it gets put in its own txt file, like interview questions or collected notes for a single project. [So here is where you would add stuff] 09-12 This would yesterday's notes. 09-09 Some days only deserve one line 09-08 and that's totally fine [and here would be all your notes. This can be thousands of lines] #BACKLOG: Intentionally put this down here, if you run out of TODOs, then come down here #DONE: Tasks are moved down here once they're done. In case they need to be pulled back or at performance evaluation to remember what you've done! |
