Daily Diary (DD) - Day 179 of 2020

1414hrs:

File work is very lengthy, tedious and cannot be utilised or measured by others until it takes final shape. 

When it gets categorised according to subject and is made available online, search-able by category or keyword.

As it stands, my online work to date is not even 10% of the total work I have done.  

In an environment where the merit of research is almost non existent and where visible public activity on the ground gets far more attention; this makes my task subject to a form of double jeopardy of sorts.

Visible public activity can raise emotions or sentiments momentarily but organised/referenced/categorised research will eventually make the necessary difference at the negotiating table. It will also be increasingly useful for our future generations.

Thus, the equation is a tough one:

More public activity will mean less time for research. The former attracts public assistance despite its short-term utility whereas the more pain staking and time consuming work does not attract public assistance despite its long term value and necessity.
