After a lot of trial and error, I think I've finally found a simple fix. I wanted to share it in case it's helpful for anyone else (it should cost less than $10/m):
Here's the simple guide:
- First, set up a Notion database with 4 columns: "Project," "Decision," "Why It Worked," "Date."
- Next, after each AI session (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), spend 2 minutes logging what you decided and why.
- Finally, tag each entry by project so you can search it when you come back weeks later.
The problem I kept hitting: coming back to projects after a few weeks and having NO IDEA why I made certain decisions or which prompts actually worked. Felt like starting from scratch every time.
This tiny system is helping me keep context without burning hours re-learning my own work.
I really hope this helps save someone the headache! 🙏 Happy to chat more if you need a walkthrough.
