Using a Work Diary to Prevent Project Chaos

Presented by Brendan Kidwell---application developer at Abt Associates Inc., an open source software developer, and maintainer of the Windows build of Zim Desktop Wiki.

Do you email work notes to yourself but can’t remember when or where you sent them? Have you ever spent hours trying to find a fact or a piece of evidence in your loose collection of text files and Word documents? Have you ever lost a thought entirely because it was never recorded at all?

People who do creative work at home or on the job should keep a work diary for recording things they’ve done and things they plan to do.

We will explore some ideas for setting up your own work diary using a free software application called Zim Desktop Wiki--in particular using its tagging, to-do list, calendar, and search features.
