I have discovered that my habits and processes are simultaneously helpful and inhibitive of productive work. On the one hand, I get into these grooves where I can sit at the computer for hours, coding and coding, without noticing time is passing. It is great for getting work done, but it can also result in burnout. Sometimes, I find I have to force myself to get work done the day after a long work session.

I think as long as I continue to work, I will continue to get a better feel for how data and numbers can help us to understand the qualitative world we live in.
