Intent is to remember years later what specific tasks I had, even if I’ve left the company and no longer have access to my files. It’s been very useful during interviews when asked about details of what I did, and in conversation with friends who want to know what my day to day is like. I’ve learned that this journal has to be kept in a personal space so that I won’t lose access to it during layoffs, for example. Do you have any similar habits? What are your policies?

Is the backpack you take to work with you considered personal space? Or can they rummage through that?
Depends on whether or not they have local phys.sec and how much of an asshole they want to be.
No phys.sec, but powertrippy HR…
google doc - can’t be taken from me if I get laid off, the way a file on my work computer can
We block google doc access on wifi (not that I use work wifi anyway, but still). Good suggestion!
