    I'm looking for some way to track what I've actually worked on. Does anybody have any suggestions on ways to do that (I know a really simple one would be keep Word open and just write it in there but I'm wondering about a better way to do it) Ideally it should be free. TIA - Jeff.

      My way, a notebook. Yes the old paper notebook and a pen, it has dates printed and I write down what needs to be done and what I have already done in a day. I always keep my notebook open on my desk and it keeps reminding me my to do list, once the task is done then I just strikethrough it.

            He said it needs to be free... 1. Getting married costs money. 2. Staying married costs more money. 3. Freedom is lost.

                                    Open a new document in Notepad. Type .LOG as the first line. Close the file. From then on, when you start a new task, open it and type what you're doing, then close it. Each time you open the file, Notepad will automatically add a timestamp. :-D

                                          I'm looking for some way to track what I've actually worked on. Does anybody have any suggestions on ways to do that (I know a really simple one would be keep Word open and just write it in there but I'm wondering about a better way to do it) Ideally it should be free. TIA - Jeff.

                                          for the big things. Write them down in sets of lists. Get familiar with "Getting Things Done" methodologies. For coding specific; if you have access to Visual Studio do you have access to TFS? I can check stuff in to specific tasks and look it up as a change set. Also it lets me compare to previous versions. Using Team Foundation Sidekicks. I can easily search not only what I have changed but what other people have changed.
