I think the problem with documentation is that most workers feel it's the lowest grunt task, training your replacements and not 'doing'. When in reality, you're helping onboard the next wave of people. And the best part is they don't necessarily need your time, just your docs.
I've on many occasions have been a part of detailing documents and creating them for the purpose of how-tos, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when being able to help new people into the team especially if it was something I struggled with.
A trusted colleague and I were talking recently about documentation and I was saying this much, they said it's the work that the lowest person at the company would do and I should stop viewing it as such a high level. I still enjoy documenting process but now I don't want to do it due to the fact that it is seen this way.
