logging

Access the root of your mind where you can tinker with the source code. This is an exciting and primal place to be. It’s easy to feel like you receive your own thoughts, but the real glowing moments of the day are when you’re you switch from reading thoughts to writing thoughts (from read-mode to write-mode). After you forge a new thought, you writ

When I’m zoned in on an essay, I’m barely thinking or logging. I wonder if tunnel vision is a natural consequence of flow, or if there’s value in taking 2 minutes off every 20 minutes.

Hello, Sublime! This is my first time logging into the mobile app. Wondering if there’s a value in going “direct to publish.” It forces me to write prose on the spot instead of leaving breadcrumbs. It forces me to write all day. I feel like I’ve had to learn this lesson 20 times. Maybe I’m dumb, or maybe it’s not a true conclusion. We’ll see. I als

How do you render your consciousness honestly? How can you transcend mere fact without getting lost in fanciful prose? Is all mundanity worth logging? Stop by stop, a robot announcer drone-talks the time, and my pointer finger feels foreign as I scratch its side. Who will be at the meetup tonight?

In 45 minutes, I was able to use AI to help me write a script to convert my monthly log pages into a CSV. Each log is now a row, and it includes the date and time (while stripping the time from the log).

If you want to log more, all you have to do is delete every icon form your home screen besides your notes app. I only have 1 icon on my bottom bar.

I basically have 4 forms of logging now: I either write in my notebook, type into my phone/computer, speak into a cassette recorder, or record with my glasses. Can these all run in parallel? We’ll see. It’s pretty intuitive to know which mode makes sense in the moment, it just makes the overhead of organizing and sharing a little more complex.

An experiment in blitz logging 28 minutes of my vacation in Florida (1 log every 88 seconds):

• 2 Floridians in a lobby; swank; older; cigarettes and assumptions;

• Wife and I on phones in the hotel lobby;

• “Wanna check out the pool?” “Nah…” then, “Sorry, let’s do it!” … such care;

• Reflecting on the weekend’s family drama;

• Backseat, talks on how Camden Y
