Don't trust your memory

A good habit is to always document and comment your discoveries. Have a piece of paper or computer be an extension of your brain. Many may say "I figured it out once, I can figure it out again." That may be true but it sucks!

When I discover something new I tend not to write it down because I trust my memory. However, its not always reliable when working with huge amount of data. Our brain can only hold so much. Recently I forgot how I set up a feature in Microsoft's Access which I created 3 days ago. I can recreate it but with an unnecessary headache.
