[Milestone] one full year of weekly entries
one full year of weekly entries. Same spreadsheet I have been keeping since the start, nothing retrofitted.
Annotation is what makes a log survive contact with your future self. A single note beside an unusual week saves an hour of puzzled reconstruction later.
Kept one line a week for 8 months. It was pointless for the first eight weeks and then it was the most useful document I owned.
Reconstructed six weeks from memory once and later found receipts that contradicted my own log. Never again.
Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Left up. Dates, consistent conditions and annotations, which is the standard here.
Right, and the payoff arrives around month six when a pattern becomes visible that nobody could hold in their head.
Wrote the concentration into the log as well as on the vial. Have referred back to it more than once.
Cosigning on missed weeks. Leaving them blank makes the whole series misleading.
Annotated the fortnight I changed training. Without that note the numbers around it would look like a mystery.
A log is only interpretable if the conditions are consistent. Same day, same time, same state, same scale — otherwise you are recording measurement variability rather than change.
Contemporaneous records do not drift; reconstructed ones do, and the drift is systematic rather than random because memory smooths.
Built an elaborate spreadsheet, abandoned it by week nine, restarted with four columns and have kept it ever since.

Adding the column everyone adds late — sleep. Start with it.
record the dose, the day and one number, that is enough
Did anything else change in the window you are asking about?
export it somewhere you will still be able to read in two years
