And then as the day goes on, if I have time, I will write again, but often what I end up doing is things like podcasts, or podcast planning, or interviews, or like I do a tremendous amount of note taking, which is when I'm looking at a source and I have to transfer the notes from the source

So that's my process, yeah.
