> [!note]
> **Background:** I want to start journaling about my projects, focusing primarily on software development but also incorporating any other interests or activities I engage in.
> ---
> ### Key Takeaways and To-Dos:
> 📝 **Experiment Logging:** For each project or experiment, document the hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions. This structured approach will help in tracking progress and learning outcomes effectively.
> 🔍 **Continuous Logging:** Maintain a habit of continuously logging thoughts and observations throughout the project. This ongoing documentation can capture insights as they arise and provide clarity during the development process.
> 🤝 **Weekly Reflection:** Set aside time for weekly reflections to review all notes taken throughout the week. This will help consolidate ideas, identify valuable insights, and create a coherent framework for understanding your progress.

> Charlotte Fraza discusses the importance of note-taking and journaling in the scientific process. She emphasizes that logging experiments and reflecting on failures can enhance learning and problem-solving skills. By capturing ideas and documenting resources, individuals can improve their understanding and share knowledge with others.
## Highlights
experiment logging So within science what you do is
you record all your experiments successful or not and all the questions that you pose and the answers that you seek and then you note down what you learned from each of these experiments [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j536cg9k591ndzmjdyn3acx0))
experiment logging the idea what you do is for each experiment that you make is you write down these sections so you write down the hypothesis methods results and conclusions [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j536ety7c80mnxr62zpjdxzp))
he second part of experiment logging is the brain dump so this is also something that I really learned to do during my PhD and this is whenever you sit down for a full work day or at the end of a work day you kind of dump all the information that you have in your brain about the experiment [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j536hwghwa7h71cfjs4mhw3f))
the idea of resource documentation or research logging is that throughout any learning process you __log or take a record of all the resources that you use__, and this is mainly because at the end of learning something you usually forget what you've used to get there.

the idea of continuous logging is that you keep writing down the thoughts you have about that experiment as you are conducting it. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j536tb8h218sb5f4jzbh4c4e)) [[notetaking]]
having reflection moments or weekly reflection in my case and that's really to come back to all the notes you've taken throughout the week and to combine them into one coherent framework and also to pick out the ideas that you really like [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j5373tkcxah1j67yk861wjpp))
don't cross out any of the previous ideas that you have that you currently don't like cuz I find often that as you change yourself throughout time if you go back to some really old notebooks it's actually really nice to see some of the thoughts you were having and sometimes these thoughts are actually more valuable at this moment than you estimated them to be at the previous moments [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j5377gqcfcwfzmwe0mtb9w32))
sharing and reflecting together with another person is actually really nice [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j537948pfqmqcdrfpj1dth6v))
you would write down your hypothesis to how you think this would go what you think you would learn what you think you would gain from this skill acis
you would write down your methods how you think you're going to learn as much as possible about the brain in 30 days and you would write down your results but then in the end you would also write down your conclusions [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j6s8wm539b8fne7spch2qqnp))
these are usually to-dos that I think I need to do doubts I have about the experiment that I'm going to do what I think throughout that day I will learn or kind of what I have to consider and also a lot of times I write down what I think can go wrong [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j6s90vvygxh31fm58cp5xj11))
