I've found it really hard over the last couple of weeks, and I have a feeling a bunch of you are in the same boat.
I'm thinking about how to solve it. Here's the process I'm working through right now (it looks like it should be under $20):
- First, set up a simple Notion database with columns: "Project," "Decision Made," "Why It Worked," "Date."
- Next, after each major AI session (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), log what you decided and why in 2-3 sentences.
- Then, tag each entry by project so you can search it later when you come back weeks later.
The problem I kept hitting was returning to projects after a few weeks and having zero memory of why I made certain decisions or which prompts actually worked. Felt like starting from scratch every time.
This tiny habit is helping me keep context without burning time re-learning my own work.
Anybody have thoughts on this? Hope this idea helps someone 🙏 — and happy to walk through it if anyone gets stuck. Thanks!
