To be honest I think you’re correct here about focusing on the highlights. I’ve read about things like quantifiedself and I’m honestly really interested in those types of things, but more from a distance—I think too much persistent active logging drags me down and feels like a weight so it isn’t worth it. When I think about logging, I think about wanting to grab those highlights, and while I’m at it to also unify some of the other logging and tracking that I’m already passively keeping, like my bank/credit card statement. I’ve come around to the idea that I need the smallest number of ongoing projects as possible so that they can continue for the long term, and unifying some of that noise brings so much context if there’s a way I can do it fairly effortlessly. I have this image in my head of having something in a scrollable/ queryable/ filterable/ or outline view and being able to dive into it . For a long time now I’ve sort of spiraled on the same topics of interest that I periodically return to so I need a log or something to help me expand my attention span to cope with cycles on the order of months or years instead of just days and weeks.
