-I was thinking about recent critiques of my writing style
-and how they don't really apply to my speech,
-even though I don't imagine myself approaching them differently.
-
-I imagine I _would_ speak like I write,
-but that to use the same constructions
-would require a level of forethought
-that I'm not capable of under the pressure of conversation.

-I'm still working on articulating
-my main difficulty in the transition
-from Ace to PDI estimating.
-
-At a high level,
-it's that our process is built on _instrumental_ methods,
-but that it is frequently judged from a _realist_ perspective.
-See [[realism-vs-instrumentalism]].
-
-There may be a more accurate way to state this.
-[[2025-11-10#2025-11-10 11 14]] may be an example of a similar issue,
-where instrumental methods are presented as if they were realist,
-causing confusion when the methods are,
-as judged from a realist perspective, wrong.

-#### Exclusions
-
-When we send proposals with significant exclusions
-(no lighting control, no demo, no submetering,
-even when designed and shown on drawings):
-
-Is there a conversation happening with our customers
-before they receive our proposal?
-
-Is it clear they understand what we're excluding?

-
-I've decided I've considered learning [[shorthand]]
-enough times independently
-that I would likely benefit from it.
-
-I added [[leslie-et-al_1968_gregg-notehand|a book]]
-on [[shorthand#Gregg Notehand|Gregg Notehand]]
-to my calibre library.
