I spend a lot of time explaining reality to myself. So by the time I have explained it to myself, explaining it to you guys is trivial.
I write a lot of bulleted lists and outlines of the key points for any question.
Whatever topic we are talking about or trying to answer, there is always a key question that is motivating it. For example, a question might be: What are all the limits of science? So I will focus on a core question like that, and then my mind will generate answers and I will write down a bulleted list. I don't write in long paragraphs, I write down the key insights. A key insight does not require a paragraph but a sentence. So I end up with long lists of key insights to any question. And then I spend a lot of time polishing and organizing the bullet points in the list, to create a good logical order to the points, because some points build on top of others and require coming first, and other points require coming last.
I also get lots of random insights throughout the day which don't pertain to any specific topic or question. I always write those down in a miscellaneous notes document. So I have thousands of pages of misc insights which I can always look over for inspiration or as the need occurs.
Organizing the insights into a logical sequence is the most time-consuming and laborious part of my work. Insights never come organized, you have to do the work to organize them.
My days are unstructured.
