Writing

I have yet to experience that in my work. I would imagine sustained attention is key.
I have started systematically organising every part of my work starting with memory. I have identified poor retention skills going back to childhood as the reason behind the inferior quality of a lot of my work.

I post here these days in part to improve my non-work writing in a space where (unlike say one’s own phones or computers) the possibility of human eyes or machinic scripts is not unacceptable. Well actually it should even be expected. I use these more obscure forums as they get less traffic.

I have not yet given up on privacy or security. In fact just lately, I have started defaulting to assuming they are a given again rather than the opposite. I refuse to get broken into accepting a surveillance state. It is just too bad for work and health, politics aside. I like compartments that don’t blur and sane rules.

I have also finally stumbled upon a way to retain memories with a little digital help that should assist recall. Provided I can get it to work, it would improve the quality of my work. I found that aesthetics are surprisingly important.

I have been working on a paper for longer than I care to remember. But this time I didn’t set a hard deadline, choosing instead to focus on the process of getting it completed.
