I like to document the processes I am involved in. I think it can be really useful, as it allows me to lie down in a organized way the messy bubbling thoughts that fill my days. | I like to document the processes I am involved in.

Part of my research this year will be to find an appropriate balance between documentation and action. I will try to explicit here my documentation strategy, and some generalized insights that may be useful to others trying to document the processes they are dealing with. | Part of my research this year will be to find an appropriate balance between documentation and action.

+ | ===Daily Log=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I try to keep track of my everyday tasks, especially when I am dealing with many little tasks during one day. I can then fight against a potential feeling of unproductivity. | ||

+ | ===Transiency Diary=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I use a blog to post open questions I am currently struggling with to a wider sphere. | ||

+ | * Dark green: Transiency-related medium-term project | ||
+ | * Blue: exploratory activities, travels | ||
+ | * Orange: social activities | ||
+ | * Purple: visits to/from friends | ||
+ | * Pink: representation events like courses & conference, and their preparation | ||
+ | |||
+ | This tool allows me to stop freaking out whenever I feel like I did nothing since the beginning of the Transiency. It also allows me to try to understand better why I feel bad or unproductive after some specific period. For instance, I noticed that I have to be careful not to overload myself with social activities, and to keep quite large periods of concentration on Transiency activities, rather than small 2-3 days chunks cut down by many explorations, | ||
