+## Working While Standing for Focus
+
+Yesterday Baker (our current project engineer)
+asked if I use the standing mode of my desk often.
+I told him I really didn't,
+except to show multiple people something on my screens.
+Thinking of [[kahneman_2011_thinking]],
+I stated that this was a conscious choice
+because one can not think as deeply while standing as while sitting.[^1]
+
+[^1]: This is mostly justification for a preexisting behavior.
+    I think the largest part of my tendency
+    is that I don't like people watching me work.
+
+He clarified that he did this in order to _focus_,
+which I have heard before but never gave much credit.
+I then made the now obvious connection
+that impairing deep thinking is exactly the method
+by which standing improves focus.

+## Considering the Role of Daily Notes in My Vault
+
+I think daily notes still have a good use case for me,
+but I'm not sure of the details.
+
+What content should be daily and what timestamped
+is a matter of the logic of links and tags.
+
+Daily notes should only contain content _about that day_.
+
+What's tricky about this is that
+
+### What Daily Notes Should Contain
+
+#### Tracking
+
+```
+Made recipe: [[granola]]
+```
+
+### What Daily Notes Should Not Contain
+
+#### Synthesis
+
+The utility of timestamped notes
+is that, since the topic is self contained,
+the note's tags apply to all content within it.
+Contrast with my previous system,
+more like a traditional diary,
+where synthesis for myriad topics
+was grouped arbitrarily
+by the day I happened to make a connection.
+
+### What Daily Notes Could Contain
+
+#### Objective Descriptions of Events
+
+I see two options, neither attractive:
+
+##### Option 1: Prose
+
+because it would be very boring to write.
+
+##### Option 2: Standard Terse Format

+
+Probably the most obviously helpful convention
+of [[note-taking]]/[[personal-knowledge-management]]
+that I use in [[this-notebook]]
+is how I journal my mistakes.
+
+1. The **mistake**,
+    the objectionable actions taken
+    that lead to the problem.
+
+2. The **problem**,
+    the undesirable state resulting from the mistake
+    This includes the immediate outcome
+    and, if applicable, the cost of correction.
+
+3. The **rationale**,
+    the reason for the mistake.
+
+***
+
+The intent is that by recording this conflict
+in as much detail as practical
+I can determine what actions I can take
+to prevent the most pain from future mistakes.
+
+***
+
+Rationale is the most important part of the entry.
+It's not helpful to say 
+If that's truly what seems to be the cause,
+consider your state at the time:
+Were you mentally exhausted?
+If so, was it due to workload or issues at home?
+
+"I was being stupid," and "I wasn't thinking,"
+are not informative rationales.
+"I will try harder," and "I will pay more attention"
+are not actionable plans.
+
+***
+
+"Mistake" may be a misnomer,
+because acceptability is not objective.
+For example:
+two [[conest]] senior estimators
+may disagree on the acceptability of a certain [[heuristics|heuristic]].
+It may still be useful to record criticism from the more stringent senior
+as a mistake, even if their position is less popular.

+A peer, not intending to,
+convinced me I should buy my next car
+as much over email as possible.
+
+Consider my requirements for a new vehicle:
+
+* Reliable make: Honda or Toyota
+* Compact [body style](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_body_style):
+    Sedan, Crossover, or Hatchback
+    (really just not a pickup or SUV)
+
+I thought that these requirements were too open
+to make research like peer suggested impractical,
+but I realized now that they narrow my selection considerably.
