Journaling appears to be the "hip thing" these days (google for more on
this topic). I was skeptical at first, but have found the practice of
keeping daily personal and professional journals invaluable. My personal
style is to create single line categories (follow-up, look-at, personal,
idea, etc) and add bullets underneath. I use strikeout formatting to
mark items as complete. And red ink, yellow highlighting and bold/italic
to make certain notes pop out when I'm reviewing in the future.

I use my journals as both todo lists and as diaries. Whenever possible,
I update them throughout the day. I try to start my next day's journals
at the end of each day although I'm not adamant about this practice. 

I find my professional journal to be a great aid for completing customer
timesheets. It's easy to forget all the things you may be doing on
behalf of a project or client.

There are many products you can use for journals. I like Evernote
because it's easy to use,  available on all my devices, and captures and
images, files and hyperlinks vs. just text.
