That's funny, but I've actually heard that recommended professionally as a legitimate tactic.
Helps with remembering what you actually did that day because often i get so sidetracked it looks like i did nothing at all.
This is exactly why I started doing it lol. I was getting depressed on days where it felt like I was so busy and overwhelmed but I felt like I accomplished nothing.
Made a list to track what I was doing today - 4 hours.
God that's too real.
Feeling unaccomplished because instead of getting things done you felt like you were just fending things off.
I do this especially at work. However lately I’ve stopped since late July, probably due to my depression getting worse. I still manage to get things done but my focus is out the window.
I felt like I wasn't getting enough done, so I started making reports on what I had worked on at the end of the day. That helped me realize that while I may not have "completed" a lot, I had made progress on a lot of things. It helped me realize that I was working a lot more than I thought.
