I have this 5-year notebook where I record what I did research-wise on every day of the year. Now that the first 5 years I’ve been doing this are coming to a close, it’s become clear that the month when I’m consistently the most productive is December. It’s not a mystery why that is. December is my favorite month because it’s so festive, and the weather is usually conducive to profound contentment on my part.
I need more Decembers every year.
Ooh, I like that idea for a five year notebook!

When I used to do this, it would really get me to get more done and also hold onto my thoughts. I should start again.
But what I wish I had a better record of, just to remind me what not to do, is service. I was clearing out files and there was SO much evidence of excessive service, me trying to get meaning out of meaningless meetings, etc. I must stop.
