I wish we had a notes column on our electronic timesheets, but we don't, so I use my calendar for keeping track of what I do all day. I also have my running list of longer-term projects in case I ever get the time to work on them. This is typically the "if I have time, I want to change or fix this" list. I know that I'll never run out of these things to do, but as long as I keep making progress, that's what matters.

I also feel I have a great job. I try to take time to review major accomplishments about once a quarter, usually around some significant date. On those occasions when I can't see the forest for the trees, the periodic review of big-picture accomplishments helps me keep perspective on things. This helps me maintain a positive attitude and refreshes it every once in a while. For me, it's time well spent.
