Tracking my daily tasks made me nostalgic for old email threads

I've kept a basic notebook of my work days for three years. Going back, I notice how team chats have mostly replaced emails. We used to send detailed messages that no one read. Now, it's all quick pings and replies. It saves time, but I feel like we lose track of things. Like last month, when I needed to recall a client agreement, and it was buried in random chats. Sometimes I wish for the clarity of those old long emails.

What's your method for tracking IMPORTANT decisions in chat-based work now?

My mom's group chat from 2020. It's just like work threads now. We lost a great soup recipe in the chatter. @the_hannah, your point about tracking decisions is spot on. I screenshot important bits and hope for the best. But it's a messy way to live.
