The Work Logbook
"Writing down what you did yesterday before you start work today keeps your time visible and honest."
We sit down at our computers and immediately open email or chat, letting the urgent demands of the morning sweep us away. By the end of the day, we feel busy but realize we did not work on our main priority.
A simple logbook is the antidote. Before you write a single line of code or check an inbox, open a text file and write down three bullet points of what you achieved yesterday, and one main task for today.
This simple, five-minute ritual grounds your morning in your own achievements, keeping your time visible, honest, and under your control.
