I agree... but back to the original topic. If you just want a log of everything you do, I use the following hack to keep an eternal log of commands run in bash.
https://gist.github.com/ardichoke/038c84b7966856da211a Used it in the past when I was administering hosts that were worked on by multiple people. This would help in tracking down who broke things so that justice could be meted out. Either add it to your bashrc, or (at least on RHEL) drop it in /etc/profile.d to apply it system wide. I have no doubt that there are improvements that could be made to this... for instance, on systems where I didn't want people to be able to tamper with the logs, I had it write the message using logger on one of the local syslog channels, which logged the message into a file writable only by root (and in some cases, also sent it to a centralized logging server). Granted, that doesn't keep track of the output, but at least you have a record of your inputs.
