How much should you document your workday?

Question: “I have an admin friend who tells me that I should be documenting every single task I do in my job daily, with special detail given to any sort of small or large projects, which should have their own separate category. She says it’s the only way come performance review time to truly make a boss see what you do and what you’re capable of—because people tend to overlook so much of what goes into an admin’s job. I think I agree, but I worry it might make me seem a little obsessive and self-absorbed, as if all I care about is my own bubble. What do other admins think of this strategy?” – Gail, membership coordinator
