I’ve been keeping a daily technical log for about 12 years now. It’s nothing fancy, managed in a series of Markdown files, one file per month. At last check when converted to a PDF it was somewhere north of 5,000 pages.
On quite a few occasions it has saved me several hours (at least) of debugging when revisiting or troubleshooting some obscure code or infrastructure change I had previously made. When not sure of the particular month/year I will just grep for all occurrences of a related term until something jogs my memory.

Highly recommended.
