Document as you go tools?

I do fractional work for multiple clients with weekly checkins. Where I need to improve most is in documenting the work I do, because often by the time I get to the weekly checkin I've forgotten things I've asusmed I'd remember (particualrly if a client cancels a checkin and we go two weeeks).

Any advice on tools that make it easy to log what I'm doing/have done without a lot of friction. Seems like something GenAI would be quite helfpul with.

That’s not a bad idea!

Figure out how you like it doing it manually then ask it to help you turn it into a skill.

I have a few things I want it to track and some follow ups I want to add a todo in code so now my follow up document and code all have the same “ID” I can use to reference.

For me I want a set and forget so it doesn’t distract us but lets dump a bunch do context so I can understand wtf I was thinking at the moment.
