Choices

as you journey down the road

you find a fork with a choice:

• you want to get organized for now fast
• already journal & want to improve?
• looking for a community to quietly write?
• learn Obsidian
• get help

do something fast

just write it

with

• any scrap paper
• a Post-it note
• a notebook

your best journal is the one you are writing with

or even say it

with

• a voice memo
• a voice recorder
• even bring a friend to talk with
• say whatever / say what matters

I was organizing stories for my original Code? Whatever! video. I was writing my stories like a script.

I couldn't connect with anything I was writing. Sometimes I was just staring at walls.

I couldn't keep going like this. I grabbed my trusty pocket voice recorder. I needed something more like conversation.

As I started speaking I could feel my feet on the floor. Before I knew it, I was talking like a real human being; not to mention I was traveling many pathways of my life, rapidly. It didn't just ground me in my feelings, I could work much faster.
