Tip 27: Automatic log file

11/16/2006; 6:54 PM

It's 4.30pm on Friday. The weekend is at the corner but there's one thing in the way. The Weekly Report. The last thing you'd want to do is think what you've done during the week and write the report. The solution?

Use any text editor, GTD TiddlyWiki or a plain piece of paper and write down tasks as you complete them during the week. Come Friday afternoon all you need to do is to type the list in the report.

In notepad if you save a file with .LOG (caps) as the first line, each time you open the file the current date and time is added to the end of the file.
