KEEPING A REAL SHIP JOURNAL
Ok, now I am revealing to you all the nerd I am. I keep a physical log next to me. I mark extreme events, and points of interest. I then add these to the in-game ship log later.
Keeping this log has a benefit:
It adds the element of commitment in my actions. I'm physically writing down what I intend to do, then I do it. It adds immersion, and a time stamp for later review. Even if you just use a physical log just for special missions, you will enjoy reading it over again.
Things I add:
Enigma messages
Contact reports
Special radio reports
Mine locations
Intentions to attack shipping
Drills
Equipment checks
Weather reports
Extreme circumstances like crash dives.
