A 14-day public research log

Can a tiny daily log make research direction more coherent?

#research#writing#habits

● ongoing

Setup

For fourteen days, publish one short entry after each research session using the same five prompts.

What I tried

I record the question, evidence found, belief changed, open uncertainty, and the first next action.

Result

Early signal: starting the next session is faster, and repeated dead ends are easier to notice.

Lesson

The log is most useful when it records a changed belief, not a list of completed tasks.

Next step

Compare session start-up time and repeated searches at the end of the two weeks.
