A place for
the things that matter to you.
Keep the moments from every part of your life, each under its own mode.
The first time you got through the full session without stopping.
The night the idea finally made sense.
What they said on the drive home.
The call that went two hours.
Each one matters to you.
You have nowhere to keep them.
Emperor, general, philosopher. He wrote notes to himself while doing all three.
Painter, engineer, anatomist. All three share the same notebook pages.
Fighter, actor, teacher. He wrote down his training, his ideas, and his goals.
Inventor and businessman. He left about 3,500 notebooks.
Every one of them wrote it down.
Why don't you?
Write it down while it's happening.
That's when you see it clearly. By evening it has blurred into the rest of the day.
Write what happened
Under the mode it happened to
Dated, and there when you come back
A mode can be a role, a project, or a theme.

Full session, no stopping. First time.
Coach said my guard is getting better.
Sore everywhere. Went anyway.
On the drive home: “You seem lighter lately.”

Booked the weekend away we kept putting off.
No card.
