Basecamp has a check-in feature where you can send a question to be participating people on a regular basis.

I send “What did you work on today? what are you working on tomorrow?” Every day at 4:30pm.

Not as a proof that we’re earning our keep but to keep track on all the unplanned stuff and to keep our eyes on the planned items.

We have a Slack bot that sends out this kind of message for us as well. For my team it's 17.00 local time.

I also track everything I'd put into my update in Workflowy (and more, sometimes) throughout the day, so I end up with a bunch of daily logs to look back on if needed. I use it a lot, especially for our longer-form written "end-of-week" updates.

This is also useful when compiling a brag document for review time.
