Stop and review

• what I’m doing, ideas I have, and experimental results (pasting in plots and tables)

• Every 1 or 2 weeks, I do a review, where I read all of my daily entries and I condense the information into a summary

• my review contains sections for experimental findings, insights (which might come from me, my colleagues, or things I read), code progress (what did I implement), and next steps / future work.

• spend one day per week on something totally different from your main project.
