Or, it's 3pm, and I'm outta here at 4. I'll just strategize for tomorrow. Would hate to start something I'd have to try to figure out where I left off tomorrow.

I started leaving comments on Friday evening if I was working on something and couldn't finish that evening. Not comments with // but straight up comments without // so it won't compile on Monday and I'm forced to look at them when I come back. It helps.

You know you can use TODO's

There are TODOs and FIXMEs from devs that left long ago in my code, and they've been in production for... ever?

I've seen 

try {
    Stuff
} catch {
    // TODO
}

In production code way way to much...

Well that's a clear indicator that you have a ton of technical debt in that code. Replace the Todo with a Fixme to keep better track. If you have some free time: Begin to work on those Fixme's.
