Organization of Activity Log

Well, I was very ambitious at first.  I tried to be very organized.  I had a small, handy spiral notebook.  The kind that has the spirals on the top and is about half the size of a normal piece of paper.  I had a section for random passwords and logins; a section for all of the articles I found (the web address, and citations); and then a log of when and where I went.  This was great for the first two days.  Then, I found myself becoming more and more lax with filling it in.  I was very good with filling in passwords and logins, but I found myself having to remember where I went.  Instead of writing down the web pages as I clicked on them, my habits decayed.  The first couple of days I wrote down all of them.   The next couple of days, I wrote them down every couple of sites I went to.  The last couple of days, I would enter the sites into my log at the end of my session.  Even though I had my log handy, I still had trouble writing it all down.  Yet, still, I found that almost the entire notebook is filled!!!
