Read a case study about this exact thing causing major structural rot. @taylorshah is right about that hidden moisture source, it just never stops feeding the problem. Guy ended up replacing floor joists because he ignored a simple vent.

That "whole month at once" feeling is so real. I tried a future log once and it just stressed me out. I actually went the other way and made my spreads smaller. I do a two day page now, with just three tasks and a little doodle space. Seeing less at a time somehow makes me do more. It's weird how everyone finds their own fix.

Totally get that. The old stuff felt like you were just being told a weird story. Now it's all about building a mood, and the facts kinda get lost in the soundtrack. Makes it harder to just think about what might have actually happened.

Did anyone check if the paper itself was acidic and just gave up under pressure? @emmahayes, that steaming trick was smart because heat can relax the fibers. Honestly, saving old paper is a whole science most people don't even think about.

Ugh, I read an article about how power outages spike during big TV finales.
