I thought you were going to take this in the direction of unrealistic expectations about how long a session takes. I’ve always been really amazed at podcaster DMs’ ability to get so much done in a 1-2 hour segment. When I used to DM I felt like I got the same amount done in about twice the time.
I always wrote a recap right after each session because it helped keep a history of what happened and made sure I didn’t lose track of things.
