I am about to start a new job and I've been focusing on tuning my GTD skills as I approach getting started.
One of the things that I've been thinking about is potentially keeping a work "diary", capturing what happened during the day: meetings attended, tasks completed, decisions made, etc.
GTD is perfectly focused on capturing the future and dealing with the present, but it doesn't help me analyze or focus on the past. I could see a diary as very useful when analyzing goal-orientation, accomplishments for official reviews, and general productivity questions.
Does anyone else do this for their professional life? Do you find it useful?
