Back in 2011 I started tracking the minutiae of my work days using VoodooPad. It was partly for record keeping, but mostly to be able to walk away from my computer and still be able to remember what I was doing when I got back. I can be very, very scatterbrained. After VoodooPad, I had a system going using QuickQuestion and nvALT. Then it was Day One. By 2014 I’d come up with a solution in the form of a command line utility called doing. The journey was well documented up to that point in a series called, appropriately enough, “Scatterbrained.”
