Short diary entries

First, I like this blog a lot. Second, this is BJN. Third, I set up a blog under this name to test out a template but that is not a real blog.

My MLI is to keep a notebook with a very short diary entry for each day, written before I go to bed each night. I got a Mead Composition notebook from CVS today and I plan to start tonight.

It won't be much about my feelings or thoughts or anything; it will be more in the style of the Reagan diaries. It will be 2-4 lines each night and I want to center it on one thing that happened that day that was surprising and made the day memorable. Recently I've felt bad that days seem to blend together. I'd like to reflect each day on something that made the day what it was -- someone I met, something weird that happened, something I saw -- so that I can look at it at night and be reassured that something happens each day. Hopefully, I'll even be more excited to start the day in the morning, wondering what will make the diary that day, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Studying Reagan is a great call for improving efficiency. That guy did not dwell. He was president twice and always had a big grin.
