I work as a developer/ cloud IT engineer. All day long people mention something in meetings or I need to check the uptime/status of a particular asset. It was getting to be too much to keep track of every little thing I had to do.

I eventually settled for writing down things mentioned to me, or things that I'm reminded of. The vast majority of my work I remember, don't need to write down to keep track of.

Glancing over this, I get that it's incredibly vague advice. But following a version of this, and starting a new page every day, has really helped me keep track of things.

Bullet journaling is fscking amazing for this, unfortunately after many years of hard experience, I've come to understand that I'm so receptive to environmental stimuli that I just haven't been able to maintain such a system in a chaotic environment ... I need a certain level of baseline peace / recharge in order to be able to stay on top of systems like these. But they do work so well when I can manage it

That's fair I really wouldn't call my strategy bullet journaling, more like writing a daily to-do list (sparse reminders)
