Parallel Intersections

Writing a note takes about one hour every week. To discipline myself to sit and write takes more energy than I can gather in a week. The task can't be easily handled with a piecemeal workflow.

Henceforth all texts for a month will be created around the same time. Notes shall be gathered monthly, in a dedicated buffer called RWXA. This buffer resides in my Google Documents. Nowadays, most of my Google Docs are becoming buffers for my ongoing projects.

Four ideas that share some topics will then be processed in parallel. Intersecting topics might alleviate work while improving analytical grain. Sequences of notes sharing ideas could also help softening the effort for interpretation by the reader.

Hopefully, this little hack will make my structured procrastination replace surfing with multi-editing, from time to time, at least often enough for the task at hand.
