What's that one bit of advice you'll tell anyone at the slightest hint that it's warranted. The thing you learned, the thing you believe so strongly you can't shaddup about it, the thing you have such deep experience in that you truly know your experience is meaningful and helpful most of the time.

5 Aug 2025: When you write something, start with the date you wrote it, and include the publication date for any quote. Date is supremely important for context of all that follows.

Keep a standard series of patent notebook style handwritten journals with dated notes and sketches.

It’s the quickest and most reliable way to fix it in your memory, log a digital note later, find it again, and link to a note by date in any paper journal volume.
