Panopticon

A public diary for me to post each weekday:

The idea is to mimic the sprint-style daily updates that helped me be more productive during internships this year for my PhD work.

My hope is that this page will serve as an anti-procrastination panopticon — while certainly no-one will care about the minutiae of my day to day, the fact that someone could be watching will hopefully incentivise me to do the thing properly.
