comment on [Question] how do you actually verify weekly update in c/dosinglogs · 257 points · 2 years ago
Why contemporaneous beats reconstructed, with the failure mode.
Memory smooths. Reconstructing a fortnight from recollection produces a series that is more regular, more consistent with your current beliefs, and quietly wrong in a direction that flatters the story you are already telling.
I found this out by reconstructing six weeks and later finding order receipts that contradicted my own entries. The log was not a little wrong; it was wrong in exactly the direction that made my narrative work. Write it down on the day, even the boring days, especially the boring days.

What was the non-scale thing that told you first?
comment on how much of what we believe about weekly update actually comes from tracking threads in c/dosinglogs · 5 points · 2 years ago
Correction: those two entries are 18 weeks apart, not consecutive, which changes how the middle of that series reads.

Correction: that is a request for information, not a seizure notice. Different document, different process, different deadline.
