A daily work log is not a minute-by-minute account of your day. It is three bullet points: what you finished, what got in the way, and what you learned. Five minutes at the end of each day. Done right, it replaces the panic of forgetting what you worked on last Tuesday.
The Format
Three lines, every day, at the end of your workday.
The Consistency Trick
The hardest part is doing it every day. Tie it to something you already do, end-of-day email shutdown, closing your laptop, or logging your time. When it becomes a trigger instead of an extra step, it sticks.
WeekBlast turns your daily work log into your weekly status report automatically. Write it once a day, and your Friday summary is already done.
