withstanding pressure from von, i do declare that i will only write long entries infrequently or v short daily entries that are more or less telegraphic. in fact both are detrimental to work. the daily short ones are easier but are very distracting because i keep stopping whatever i am doing to write about whatever comes to mind. and the long entries which are more fun take me too much time in looking up references. still, can't kick a bad habit right away. but, going to try.
