- @ 14:58 I am focused on trying to fix this manual timer bug.
- have been very scattered so far.

- I'm doing a single-tasking experiment today as part of #TwitterDayOff, and want to take notes here
- < pull in init notes from CoTh cards >
- @ 11:26 - just finished a shower in which I began reworking a song I'd started writing almost 9 years ago! so juicy!
- and the song is called Breathe for a Minute ♫ and it's actually kind of about single-tasking
- and I'm noticing that, as part of the single-tasking workflow, I want to mark complete having done what I did on the song in the shower
- that was its own thing, it's done, fuckyeah
- marking it as complete allows me to feel WAY more present journalling here
- and then I maybe want to add an additional intention immediately that is like "write the lyrics somewhere" or "record a demo"
- (oh, realizing I hadn't actually added "8,3) take notes on single-tasking workflow", ie what I'm doing now, to my intentions. okay, done)
- there's an interesting Intend design question here actually, which is about a way to have like, progress marks/stamps on intentions, that are like, in some sense complete but you could still do more of them
- because it's not like I now want to mark this intention as complete, since I still intend to do more, but I want
- the satisfaction of logging a thing
- that intention to be complete when I get to my outcomes
- for now I think I'll use sandpiles for this, although it doesn't get that intention to be complete when I get to my outcomes
- I guess I could experimentally actually mark it complete then uncomplete it to set it as next action
- (whoa, how would it feel if "next action" were instead called "current action" or "on deck" or "right now" or something? 😮)
- might encourage people to use it in a more single-tasking way
- and there's ofc a question of like, am I gonna put "make lunch", "eat lunch" on there? I probably will today, but that would feel like noise most days - there needs to be a placeholder intention or even a placeholder mode or something
- anyway, I'm going to try this completion thing!
- @ 12:32 - man, single-tasking does not go well with having notifications of any kind turned on. I mean, I knew this, but seriously.
- ...update from a bit later: I ended up having some chats, some of which were single-task-ish though I didn't actually put the intention in Complice til after
- and some of them were like, a thing I was half-doing while the other half was writing that I did have as my Complice next action
- so yeah
