I find journaling indispensable
I liked his post. He discovered something similar to my own discovery that I reflected on below. Although the write does not highlight the journaling technique, it is invaluable to rationalize.<p><a href="https://medium.com/hackernoon/the-manager-stew-dd59cd653728" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/hackernoon/the-manager-stew-dd59cd653728</a><p>I am still trying to figure out proper structure, right now it's still time based. I have found patterns forming in journaling:<p>1. Always write it out. Typing is good, however with writing I remember better and it sticks longer. Having a large stack of pocket moleskins has weight I cannot seem to fully describe.<p>2. The more I write, the more I realize that threads/channels of thought are working on different things continuously.<p>3. TODO's naturally form. Write them down as they come has serious potential for getting things done. Keep checkmarks and reflect back after some time. Watch for patterns.<p>4. Rating myself on how I feel personally and professionally daily has lead to some deep discoveries.<p>5. Letting people know exactly how many days you've been at your job (yes, writing down the number of days since starting on each entry) has interesting side effects in conversations.
