A small tool I'm building for myself because I often forget what I actually did during the week, especially when it's time to summarize it, do my weekly review, or prepare for 1:1s or evaluations.

The idea is simple:

1. On the days I work, I get an email one hour before the end of the day (as I usually use emails as todo lists).

2. I reply to that email with what I did just like I would in a personal journal.

3. My reply gets saved and shows up on a calendar. It's nothing fancy, just the content of the email on the day it was written.

4. When I need to prepare for a performance review or a manager check-in, I can generate a clean report based on my past entries with summaries written by AI

That’s it. No login every day, no new tool to open. Just a little trace of my work, saved quietly, and summarized when needed.



That sounds useful. My company tends to work out of Slack, so having it interface that way would be cool.
