"Writing digital notes is faster and makes you more productive", sure whatever, but can you make medievalesque marginalia to point at important stuff?

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability

Hi! I'm not very active on this blog since...ever. But I want to do a study challenge if anyone else is interested. I need to write an entire thesis in the next 3 weeks and I want to build accountability here on my own, but also if anyone else wants to join or knows about an open event!

Discovering that instructors can now track the meta-data of word/docs documents is so funny as someone who routinely speaks to the paper while writing. Yes, please see that I initially gave this section the provisional title "very sexy, very clever title". Yes, that sentence was precedeeded by WHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY before I deleted that. It was then followed by FUCK THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE SO STUPID which included you as well, dear instructor. You can see that it took me three paragraphs before I came back to delete it? Good, transparency matters.

I've been struggling with starting my work for the last hour and a half and the last half hour was just: getting coffee, don't have a cup--use the bottle of my protein drink as a temporary cup. Get coffee: coffee drips on my white wool cardigan from the lid. Clean the jacket before coffee stains the fabric--can't wear the cardigan anymore. Wear my coat and try to remove the attached lid so that my t-shirt doesn't get stained too. Plastic recoils so hard that I drop half of the coffee to the desk, on the print-outs and my notebook.

Still drinking the coffee, but kindly, what the fuck?!

Coffee this morning - reading ‘On writing well’ by William Zinsser.

Watched a webinar on GI pathologies and pulmonary fibrosis.

Did some data/SQL review.

You don't need to prove yourself to anyone. You're not a theorem. You're an axiom.

I am once again vexed by what the bullet journal has become, when there are people who could really find value in the simplistic organization method it was originally designed to be by someone with ADHD

I really think people need to accept the fact that their aesthetically markered and extravagantly washi taped notebooks are actually art journals or even scrapbooks or junk journals, not bullet journals as a tool to help stay organized

Tacking op's tags on here bc simply saying "go read them" is not enough!
