Feel really, really spent. Need to find time for a lot more movement and some strength training.
My overall level of emotional energy is very rapidly exceeding the body's ability to keep up. Too used to lethargy.

It'll also allow you to look back later on and work out what you would do differently next time.

Fair points. What do you guys use for drafting? I dislike most word processors I've used recently.

An initial set of topics
I use TaskPaper for drafting long threads or guides. I set it to a monospace font & have a 140 char ruler
I also use FoldingText to translate TaskPaper text files into Markdown. (I used to do this a lot: make custom Finders in TP & document w/Markdown)
