I write notes in bullet form in a work-specific private github repo of Markdown files.<p>Each daily file is named by date as mm-dd-yy.Rmd with the following info<p># Date: xx/xx/xx<p>## Time in/Time out<p>## Log
* Task 1
* Task 2
* Subtask<p>## Notes
* Note 1<p>I've changed a bunch of stuff around like folders for each year/month, but keeping it in raw text files within a folder directory keeps things organized, and grep-able for searching. My log folder is also within my workspace folder for where folders for other projects live so I can easily open up today's work file with vim in a new tab when I'm working.<p>The Github repo is mainly to keep me synced between different computers I have to work from between working from home and on different office computers, and also so I own my own log of workplace interactions in case I need to report a list of interactions to HR (which I have had to do multiple times, and has saved my ass).<p>As for why I'm using R-flavored markdown instead of standard markdown, is that I've found that there are a bunch of standards for markdown that use the *.md extension, and that R markdown gives me good, consistent highlighting, code snippets, functionality with pandoc, and has its own separate extension.
