Keeping a Notebook
by Ross Campbell
It is hard to explain just how much a one inch thick Moleskin Notebook Diary has changed by life. When I look back at the first entry I ever wrote (On February 9th) it is not difficult to see that I have changed so much in the five months that have passed.
Before I bought my dairy I had become a very goal orientated person, I would set myself new goals all the time and in a way that was the problem. I was so caught up in setting myself goals, coming up with idealized ways to make myself better, to achieve more that I didn't really ever follow through will my grand ideas.
I believe it was Tim Ferris author of the life changing Four Hour Work Week, that led me to buy a notebook, he calls himself a meticulous note taker, In the beginning I was the kind of note taker who upon looking back at his scribbled notes had no idea what they where referencing. Just an assortment of single words and phrases, which I'm sure my mind and pen thought would trigger vivid memories and ideas, but instead triggered shrugs of confusion.
But I quickly came to find a structure that suited me that helped me achieve my goals and set new ones. It is a structure that has changed over time, like everything in life you can take all the advice you want but in the end you will find in the mist of all that advice your own path, stay with it.
Each day I open my diary to todays page and write my first heading, It is one of my 3 goals that I want to achieve, usually these goals take a month or two to complete so may have written this heading 30 or 40 times by now. But each day I write in what I can do that day to get a step closer to achieving that goal. Its the baby steps we all need to take the same actions that give us validation and keep us going. Break a daunting goal down into tiny sections and you'll find that they aren't daunting at all.
So my heading gets three lines under it with my tasks for the day. I set three because if can only achieve one of them i've still had a good day, I can move the other two to the next day, but if I achieve all three I've had a fantastic day.
About the Author
I do another heading for my next goal and repeat the actions, my third goals is a fitness goal, with goals like this I find it is good to draw a little time line of the week, things like fitness goals gain so much if you can see where you are progressing, when you're putting in a good amount of effort and especially when you letting it slack. So I draw the week out, I can see what i did on Monday and push myself further on Tuesday. Again you find your own way this helps to motivate me.All these tactics are just designed to keep me on track. To help me achieve what I want to achieve. To help me achieve my goals.
