Totally agree. A daily log in a simple text file is super useful for perf review etc., but even just to remind myself that my day wasn't wasted.
I use a little script I wrote that, once per hour, opens a full screen always-on-top window that forces me to write one sentence on what I have been doing this past hour, and saves it in a plain text file. The input field is a combobox, so I can just press arrow up if I'm doing the same thing as the previous hour. This way, by the end of the day, I have a journal for the day that went.
