I am very impatiently waiting for my invitation to join the Grid,
(they have started inviting 100+ members to join every day as of October 2015... based on the average users signed up every day since they started and my member number of ~14900, I should have access by February 2016)
and found myself randomly looking at what other people have done since they started their web sites.
While doing to, I found a site that had/has some tips on daily journaling. Essentially, it goes like this: Use a template. Simple, right? And the recommended template she used was Michael Hyatt's.
I think this is a good idea that I want to remember.
Yesterday
What did I do yesterday?
[I don’t chronicle everything, of course. I just hit the highs and the lows—those activities or events I want to remember later.]What lessons did I learn?
[I try to distill my experience down into a couple of lessons I want to remember. It’s not what happens to us but what we *learn* from what happens to us.]Now
What am I thankful for right now?
[I journal in the morning, and this is one practical way I can begin my day with a sense of abundance and gratitude.]How am I feeling right now?
[Feelings aren’t the be-all-end-all, but they are an important clue. In the past, I just ignored or suppressed my them. This gives me an opportunity to check in on myself.]Today
What did I read today?
[I record a list of anything I’ve read since I last journaled, including Bible passages. Occasionally, I record a lesson or insight.]What are my plans for today?
[I preview my schedule and my major tasks for the day, mostly to get focused on what needs to be done.]What one thing must I accomplish today?
[I like to know the one thing I must get done, even if I don’t accomplish anything else. This helps me prioritize.]
