Each day I write one page of a stream of consciousness in my journal. A few days ago I hit day #190. No small feat and one I'm incredibly proud of. After feeling like journalling was never going to be my thing, i finally hit some consistency last 2018 after months of a commit/forget/fail/recommit cycle.
The rules I follow are simple. 1 page. Tugging on a thought or some meaning or just a feeling I had that day. I try to avoid a?today i did this? and prefer to explore ideas.
On the opposite page, i leave open to the day. Quotes, diagrams, thoughts, to-do's anything that I feel will be a value add to future Wallace, or anyone who may happen upon the pages.
If you're not currently journalling and think it could help you (It's changed my life for the better) touch base and I'll help you get started with your own practice.
Here is my entry from Wednesday 27/3/19 word for word. No edits. Theres something about writing fast and wrong and putting the unabridged thoughts straight onto paper. The thought string I pulled on was sparked by the book I'm currently reading?Fooled by Randomness? Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
If you resonate and enjoy the idea, let me know.
