Logbook

What we are doing now can be better understood in the future, if we know then what we did now.

This is why we keep diaries.

The engineering practice is to keep a logbook. This logbook is focussed on measurements, process, and choices.

With that written down, we can use our future smarts to reinterpret what we are up to right now.

That works best when we leave the interpretation for that future.
