Keep lab notebooks worth citing

Steps

1. 1Entry per session: goal, exact methods/versions, raw observations
2. 2Note failures fully — negative results are future time savers
3. 3Attach instrument outputs immediately with filenames explained
4. 4Sign/date entries; never backfill silently (GxP adjacent habit)
5. 5Index by experiment ID referenced everywhere else
6. 6Weekly review: unresolved questions become next week's plan

Common Pitfalls

• ▲Notebook as polished rewrite losing real-time value
• ▲Critical parameters living only in memory
