mon26jun2023, 627pm. first i’ma clean my keyboard. done. 628. I have several things on my mind. a conversation with a mutual yesterday that could be an essay. Another essay about how you can spin up digital spaces for free and the implications of that. but the thing I think I most want to do is to continue where I left off yesterday. so let’s do that. do I want to start a pomodoro? not really, i’ll just play some music. OK Computer let’s go. It’s tempting to continue with yesterdays roam page, but I’m starting a new bullet so it feels fresh. 2 songs in, down to 52 notes. album over, down to 47 notes. break for dinner. 741pm. sat around… submitted a form for a thing… now it’s 1010pm. 1034pm, back to work. 1209pm, we’re down to 31 notes. 144am, down to 24 notes, ok i think im gonna go play some horizon fw

It’s Sunday 25-jun-2023, 835pm. I had dinner, showered, and I’m ready to ‘start my day’. Realistically I have maybe 4 hours of time, maybe less. What do I want to do with this time? First I’ll take a minute to clean up my computer desktop. Done. That took 4 minutes. Maybe I’ll clear my physical desktop next. Done, that took a few seconds (I just stuffed everything into drawers, which would take longer to clean.) Okay. What’s next? I’d like to write and publish an essay today. But I don’t have a super strong compulsion to right now. What do I feel like doing right now? I see that I have 86 drafts in a folder in my iOS notes app. I’d like to… go through those drafts.

Alright, so I’m going to start a new page on my Roam titled [[voltaic]], and start a main bullet titled iOS drafts 25jun2023, and I’ll start populating it with what’s in the drafts folder.

I’ll start from the bottom. Deleted one. 847pm. Shall I start a pomodoro? Why not. […] 25 mins later I have ~15 bullet points and we’re down to 79 drafts in the folder. […] I tried to do another one, got distracted halfway, started over, got distracted again. Now it’s 10:13pm and we’re down to 73 drafts. I feel pretty good though. […] now it’s 1218pm and we’re at 66. Hey that wasn’t so bad […] now it’s 337am and we’re down to 57. now it’s 452am and i’m still at 57. so i probably should’ve stopped at 337am, lol. ok i’m done for the day, at least i’ll be in bed before sunrise
