It seems like a hassle and in fact, it _is_ a hassle. But documenting helps you in two important ways. First it helps you to think better about your assignments because you need to be able to explain them to another person. This helps you to better understand for yourself what what you are working on and why. Second it helps you with remembering what you've learned. It is easier to learn new skills and techniques, and to actually 'acquire' the knowlegde, when you document what you have done. And surely, your information might also help others who are working on the same thing, like your fellow Fabricademy students.
