Doing so takes an insignificant amount of time to accomplish and they add significant value to my trading -
"Not only to stay aware of what I have accomplished but to help me to grow and adapt to changes into the future."

Below are the three workbooks used. They are also posted at the end of each month, along with
my daily trading activity charts and can be viewed here on this blog...
my daily trading activity charts and can be viewed here on this blog...
(Links on the right - Archives go back to January 2013)
Take screen shots of every one of your trades
Take a screen shot of every completed trade you take, winners, losers and break-even. Include entry rationals and results.
Include some comments or annotations and save each day's activity...Doing so reinforces correct methodologies
and allows a way to review what works and what doesn't
Examples:
Organize the screen shots
Create a way to organize the daily trade pictures. Set up a system to easily
fill out your statistics spreadsheets and review any particular trade day.
I have modified the workbooks since posting the originals to my Sharpshorts Day Trading blog
(2.....Record Keeping & Statistics....)
They now include more columns with my account $$$ amounts, trade $$$ amounts and other personal information
but I'll keep those changes private...
