What did however was an analysis of 1) what I did yesterday and 2) what I want to today. I started with just typing my head off for about 30 mins every morning. At first it was thoughts all over the place. As I kept at it and pushed through, over a few weeks on I could see patterns emerge. I could read what going on yesterday, a week ago or a couple of sprints ago or a release ago and see how things have evolved. This helped separating the important stuff from the fluff. This was what I needed to focus on. I now log the important stuff. Takes about 10 minutes a day and gets me in the flow of things. Totally worth the effort in time and mental cycles spent.
