daily logging

One rule I’m trying to stick to: only share what’s already done, or what I’ll finish in the next 8-10 hours. A daily log should be about today, not tomorrow.

AI has made words, plans, and agentic to-do lists cheap. Here’s what Claude says about best practices for writing a daily log:

A daily log is essentially a running record of what you did, decided, and learned throughout a day.

Why keep one? The core purpose is externalized memory — getting things out of your head so you can move faster, think clearer, and not lose things. It also creates an audit trail for yourself (and sometimes others).
