Tracking what you do.
-
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.
Get married.

Get married.

He said it needs to be free... 1. Getting married costs money. 2. Staying married costs more money. 3. Freedom is lost.
Maybe, but she'll definitely tell you what to do or not do for free. :)
-
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.

I don't need to track what I do because the government does it for me.

As C# code doesn't get compiled in a notebook I have to be a digital worm. ;P

That's why every man needs a parrot that learns to say just that for him. :)

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

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.

I started last year doing just that, but with Microsoft's OneNote (part of Office). I can't say I've found much use for it beyond this. A single notebook, one section per year, one page per month, and one sub-page per day. Embed files, links, screenshots, etc, tags-galore...it works out well enough for me. Heck, the bare-bones free online version (office.live.com) might suit you as well.

I think a bit longer than that. They're especially curious about my ammo stockpile, but I think they're afraid to approach the house.
