Situation
For the past month, I've monitored all my decisions and events that happened.
For e.g.,
May 07 2021 18:04:00: Sent an email to the client
Process
Whenever I needed to create a new event, I would:
-
Open
https://www.epochconverter.com/
-
Copy the timestamp
-
Paste the timestamp in my journal
-
Write the event
Repeat this 100 times a day 😓
Why?
The outcome was helpful.
This system allowed me to keep track of all my ongoing projects and experiments I was currently working on.
Client interactions regarding something would be logged.
Could look at it after the weekend and instantly know where I left off.

About the project:
*Concern: *
Am I storing user data?
No.
Everything is on github. Raise a PR if you want to.

Here is an example of the logs I kept for this project.
Philosophy
If you are working on a long term project such as starting a newsletter, business or page, there are many steps prior to your first day.
Keep a record of the decisions you made and events that happened along the way. This will help you remember and gain insights.
Avoid what doesn't work
Do what works.
Continue.
