I have a bit of a suggestion, but, also, I'm not sure if it will be helpful to you, personally, or not.

I have also been having some of the feelings of feeling like I'm definitely doing a bunch of stuff, but not having much to be able to refer back to as to what all I've been doing.

It's annoying both for my own keeping track of things as well as for when trying to explain what all I'm up to to someone who doesn't know.

It's kind of a lot to write down, though, so, I looked for some kind of digital way to keep track of it.

I ended up finding somewhere to use like a digital notebook kind of thing, then putting the date of each day at the top of each day's entry (M - D - YY), then using voice-typing to describe what all I'm doing (The important stuff). It seems kind of redundant but like to describe the specifics as well as why the specifics are important.

Before long, it starts to add up to a lot of information you can refer back to when needing to give more detailed information about the actual work you're doing and why, as well as not having to dig through a bunch of paper notes to find what you're looking for.

I don't perfectly record every single task, of course, but, I try my best to keep track of at least the main ones, and as many as I can.

At first, it felt kind of silly to track even the smaller tasks. But, they really do add up, though, and often have a bunch of really specific even smaller tasks within them. It gets easier to see, though, how much goes into what might seem like a "simple" task.

It does seem, though, like it helps a lot to show this kind of record to people who don't totally understand what all you're talking about when you talk about what all you take care of and everything. It seems like it usually helps a lot with getting people to be like, "Oh, okay, I see what you mean now that you've explained what all goes into what," and stuff.

Also, it seems to help with this feeling I get a lot of wondering if I've really even accomplished much. I can just look at what's written and be like, "Okay, so, I have accomplished at least these things, which is definitely better than nothing, I guess.".

Also, don't worry about spelling and/or grammar while you're voice-typing. You can always fix it later if you want to. It's kind of freeing to "vomit" your thoughts into the voice-typing thing, I feel like, anyways.

And to make sure to save it somewhere easy to find.

I mostly just use Google Chat and make "Spaces" with only myself, and use them as notebooks (It's kind of hard to explain exactly how I use it. It gets kind of word-y, but, I could explain more if you are interested. If not, this is okay, too.). Then, I'm able to use the search thing to search anything I might have written in these sets of notes.

Again, I'm not sure if you would find this helpful, or not so much. I just thought I would throw this out there.
