I've actually started a work journal to catalogue what I do in a day. I find I do a lot of things outside of my job description so I started journaling it as a way to see what I do and what I'm "supposed to"

I think it's really helped me with my overall memory. I'm still pretty forgetful, but I've genuinely been getting better at remembering things which is super nice for me (and my partner ahah)

That’s cool. What does you work journal look like? Just a list of things or do you track time or any other details?

I keep thinking how I should do this but am a bit afraid of starting and not keeping up with it because of a lack of structure.

It's just a word document with what I've done/ who I've talked to as different points. Sometimess something will have more meat so I'll give that one bullet points to speak more about it. At the end of the day, it's not for anyone other than yourself so what you write whether formal or shorthand, is up to you. I type mine a little bit more formally, it helps me be more specific and ramble less of that makes sense. It also allows me to be able to pull it up and read almost word for word if someone asks " what did you get up to today"

Don't know if that's helpful at all, but that's how Ive been doing it!
