Great article, but a quick question – do you also keep your daily business notes (from meetings and such) in the same journal or do you keep those separately? It would seem like you would want those together with your daily and weekly most important tasks, but it wasn’t clear from the article.

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Alan

This reply will make a good “entry” on a page in my journal. I’ve kept a daily for >30 years. It’s helpful to flip back, read a page out the life× to reminisce but I find myself fanning pages out of necessity. When did I sign an important document at work, who did I talk with at the IRS office, when did my boss give me a verbal and of course the scrutiny preceding each tax season. My handwriting reflects mood &attitude inscribed in a continual development of stick figures and hieroglyphics. This is a history /alibi of/for me. Goals I post where I see them daily as a conscious or otherwise reminder. To-do lists are binderclipped bound index cards. Task accomplished, card is culled out, fresh blank card takes its place. Long term carried cards with add hock ideas & info get action, even if that action is getting carried in shirt pocket until time permits or ink fades. To keep my year fully recorded, during times of high adventure or places where I would not chance loosing a volume of near misses, dreams and their “hidden” meanings, moon phases/ energy levels and what gave me gas…I print that months calender affording enough space each day to include a departure time, the tickets I have, all else I just need to know when to go to local airport. Calender w/numbers and vacent boxes get filled in with locations and stick figures is tucked into a reporters notebook which I’ll draw out and on (while waiting coffee) collecting stories of how great I feel today and my recollections of last night. I never wonder why I take ~10 minutes /day to record, recall, &conjur…after thirty years, ~11K entries, I’m afraid not to. ~J.

I enjoyed reading the article about drinking more water to lose weight. I agree that drinking more water does help to lose more, but what’s even better, is to drink it ICE COLD !!! When you drink ice cold water, your body has to boost your motabolizum in order to warm up your body temperature again. I know, because I’ve dropped more with it than with just cold water.

Good Luck and God Bless, Linda

Keeping a journal IS important. I enjoyed this piece by Michael Masterson. I’ve kept a journal off and on over the years, since I was about 9 years old. It’s a wonderful tool to help you be the best you can be, and, like Masterson says, a big bonus is reading your old journals from years gone by. Sometimes, funny, sometimes tragic, but always an eye-opener. You may or may not wish to share your journal, that is completely up to you. Why not begin journaling right now? It can only help.

This is actually my first time viewing any of the links that you’ve sent to me.. I found some of the titles to be very interesting and of course something that I’ve been looking for which one is to become a success story.. In reading I hope to find something that would unleash the many thoughts and help me put them to work for the betterment of many persons that are involves in my now and future life.

Will keep in touch.
