"Staying motivated. I found keeping a daily log of what I accomplished works best (I've done this for over a decade). If one day my entry looks soft, I try to do more on the next." - Brilliant idea. I find this works too, yet I never read any "motivation/ efficiency experts" mention this.
- aaronbaugher 1y agoI do a lot of logging/journaling, but they tend to be write-only. They'd probably be more effective if I got in the habit of reviewing them.
- carefulfungi 1y agoI keep a bookmark at ~now-3 months and ~now-1 year and glance at those entries every other week or so. I like it - an easy way to create a little chronology context and to refresh memories. It also motivates me to keep making new entries.
- john-tells-all 1y agoIn writing a journal, you have to think - review your day, then think how to summarize it, then write it down. Repeat this a few times and it becomes a habit that can be called upon any time. Write-only journals build valuable mental skills. I give talks on feedback loops, and also struggle with reviewing my own journals :-D
