Last week, I wrote the following post about my work — knowledge work. As I said in my post, "Without sketches and words on screen, much of my work would exist in thoughts and conversations."

Last night, I made a list of "the things I think about" and then went through my last three sketchbooks (01 JAN 10 – 05 MAY 10) and digital notebook, Notational Velocity (28 FEB 10 – 05 MAY 10), making hash marks everytime I came across a sketch or note that matched a category. I also added one category I hadn’t thought of before going through my notes: "Setting Goals and Assessing Progress."
