I'm thinking what the the most optimal way might be for this purpose. I'm thinking of implementing a daily stand-up doc of all the things I did on X day and what could be done better, and a value plan for the next day.

Did you come up with this yourself, or did you copy it from somewhere else? Because I would like to know more. This sounds like a very good approach.

From my experience - don't even go looking for "most optimal ways" in this journey. The simpler, the more unstructured - the better. Otherwise maintaining the whole setup will take more than give.

I came up with the thought, but the exact term Value Plan, I've read somewhere, Andy Grove (maybe, unsure, I'll try to find a source).

The concept of a daily "stand-up" is that the team gets aligned with each other. Unfortunately it's mostly implemented via the famous 3 questions. This, along with a task board, essentially leads the meeting to be a status update. This is less helpful because team members become focused on just their own update. After 5 - 10 years of daily stand-ups, it gets pretty tedious.
Your idea sounds like a retrospective but done daily. I think the benefit of retrospectives are that there's time to see the impact of things and learn from them. Daily is too often.
We write away the status part of our syncs. Just write it down, we don’t need to hear it.
One thing we used at the last two companies I worked at was what we call SWATH—something I invented for reasons of corporate judo.
It’s 5 simple true or false questions that gives you a score. Answer them in order, atop when you answer false. Your score is the number if true answers.
It takes most people 2 seconds to do, and is a kind of health check. They’re very basic questions.
Other than that, we have a shared agenda that people can add items they want to talk about to. Work related or not.
