I heard an interesting concept in some podcast a few days ago: transparency about your current work in social media is, essentially, a proof of work in crypto. There is a guy on youtube who streams 12-hours pomodoro sessions and occasionally makes a lifestyle video, and you know it's real, because you have that proof of work. Whenever an artist tells a story as he creates something - you know it's legit, because the creation process was unfolding before your eyes.
I'd like to turn this account into something similar. I'm not sure yet whether to work on my usual lab projects or take on something new entirely, but no matter what I decide - tomorrow will be day one. Hopefully I make something worthwhile out of these two months.
I'm not sure yet, it may be code or something different. In any case, telling a story validates accomplishments emotionally, which is more valuable, I believe. And I like telling stories.
@academicalnerd in case you are thinking of designing software and programming... wouldn't your git/version control system be already proof enough?
