Worldnewsresearch Explained: Search Intent, Context, and Alternatives

A current experiment in progress — what we tried, what worked, what didn’t. Logged in real time so the conclusion isn’t already cooked.

From the log

What I learned by trying it for a month.

I keep trying things for a month at a time. Not because thirty days is special — it just’s long enough for the novelty to wear off and the actual habit (or non-habit) to show.

Most of the time the conclusion is “less impressive than the listicle promised, but quietly useful.” I write the log either way. The non-impressive ones tend to be the more interesting read.

The desk keeps the field log.

A field-journal for someone running experiments on their own life and writing it down honestly. No before-and-after photos, no transformation arcs — just what happened, week to week.
