Regarding "pursuit of stability"... here are a couple more scraps of paper. On the left, in addition to making notes, I kept track of the number of times I checked my email and my blog during a period of reading. On the right, during another period of reading, I tracked the times at which I had urges to check my email, etc. All of this was taken on because I'm tremendously distracted just now. I believe, though, that these projects only added to any distraction. As with meditating, one should simply let the unwanted thought flutter past-- not put the book aside and jot down the time of its occurrence. The best part is my note, between the 4:15 and 4:27 urges: "peed."
