Fed up of writing to a text file everyday what I do in the day ready for tomorrow's scrum, from what I have read I can make a bat file put into windows start up folder and no more typing the same thing everyday.

It does need a couple of changes, keen to keep one file per year which then this program would create as needed once updated. It does seem a bit much on the try catch however I do not want to create new entries if I need to reboot during the work day.

Also seems strange to me that to add to the start of the file I need to write it all again.
