    A Note on the Summer Usage Dip

    The recent drop in my Codex usage reflects a July move and peak wholesale season—not a sudden collapse in productivity.

    I moved apartments on July 15. June, July, and August are also the busiest months in my wholesale ecommerce business. Between the move and peak season, the last couple of weeks have pulled a lot of my attention into physical and operational work—and away from Codex.

    So the sudden drop in my July 20–26 Codex usage and July 27–August 2 Codex usage should not be read as a sudden collapse in productivity. It mostly means I was doing different work, much of it outside the systems these reports measure.

    A note for future me: this chart is a record of Codex activity, not a complete record of effort.
