Reminder to self:

> Trying to get things done "whenever there's a free moment" means they will never happen. Whatever sort of backlog or task list or flow you're working with, don't reserve it for only feature development. You need to schedule it.

#ThePragmaticProgrammer

After reading #thepragmaticprogrammer I've been keeping a daily engineering journal and I've been loving it so far!

What is it?

Take notes from what you do during the day, debugging, ideas, struggles, gotcha's, drawings.. Any kind of notes that pop into your head during work.

It helps your brain switch gears sometimes and let's information sink in.

I'd recommend you to try it if you get the chance!
