Journaling your work (was RE: So...ya wanna be noticed, huh?)

[Rebecca Downey <rdowney -at- matrox -dot- com>]

Does anyone else journal their work? And if so, how.

One example can be found here:

a Project Journal, A key to personal growth" at stickyminds.com)

I don't agree with everything he says, but since i recently switched
divisions, it has helped me juggle several projects and deadlines. I use one
Microsoft Outlook task per document.

How it relates:
	Professionalism, so far as I've seen, seems to be equated with
having a good memory for facts, figures and changes. Journaling helps me
keep the facts (and the questions) straight and even provides a basis from
which I can identify further changes and conflicts; thereby finding more
ways to add value to the product.
