Note taking is underrated especially because when you're junior you don't get interrupted and you can keep everything in your head. People think "If I could just not get interrupted" I wouldn't need to take notes.

It has the added benefit of day to day it can help you remember what you're doing. Also if you save your notes if you come back to the project in a few months you have a refresher.

Besides basic note taking I suggest two additions to it.

1. Keep it in reverse chronological order. For multiday or multiweek projects this makes it easier

2. Add the links to sites you were using instead of trusting browsing history
