Context switching

Still on a quest to figure out the right pattern for work logs (also here and this episode of the Task & Project Management course), I've been tracking what I'm doing in a really simple Baserow table for a couple of days.

It's just thing, started, and finished. If an item isn't finished, it groups up to the top (not shown here), so I have a simple list of stuff I'm still doing. It's been really helpful and I'll keep doing it. (Idea is to template this out as something you can duplicate.)

Screenshot of a database table. It shows 21 rows, each one a thing I was doing at some time today or yesterday.

That's me working on 21 separate tasks, across the breadth of my business, in just 2 days. And I'm sure there are more: I haven't added a row for the fact that I'm typing out this blog post.

The modern world is insane. You can do so much. And at the end of the day your brain is broken. It's pretty obvious why.

I'm not sure what I do with this data yet. It's not like I want to slow down. But this doesn't feel sustainable? (Not complaining! Love my job. Just an observation.)
