Sometimes I want to document everything ever. I’m pretty good at work at making notes now, and it seems to be a very simple task that everyone is blown away with. The thanks I get for sending out notes from a meeting afterwards is disproportionate to the effort I put into writing those notes. Plus I can go back to meetings from literally years ago and pull up what was said.

But do I need to do that at home or for me? So what if I thought about some random thing 3 years ago. It doesn’t matter. Saving useful stuff, like what size thingy does the wotsit use, that’s helpful. Sometimes it’s “interesting” to go back and look at stuff but mostly as a passing curiosity. Maybe I regret all the notes I didn’t take? It is time consuming though, and I do like not having a burden or a commitment I feel like I have to do for myself.

Work is very formal, and structured and there’s a contract, so words are good. The rest of life is just whatever you want, and maybe what I want is not to spend the time writing about how I spend the time. Plus I’m still 5,000 words (in my head) away from where I write it down.

So let’s have another photo from this week’s hike:

Plus I already wrote a whole story for that elsewhere.
