It's funny because just yesterday I did something quite similar, mind you I am not writing a book. For fun, I have been trying, for a long while to write a D&D campaign to play with friends. I consider myself someone half decent at improv and okay at coming up with ideas/characters on the spot, but I found every time I tried to sit down at the computer and type, my mind would be empty. But yesterday (while working mind you haha), I randomly grabbed a little notebook and a pencil and tried writing ideas/themes for a story and it just flowed out of me. I wrote down more in 20mins than I have for the past year or so. As you said, Jared, it might sound "romantic" and to me kind of hipster-ish lol, but there is something to it and I dig it! It has helped me be more creative for sure! Great timing on the video, keep up the great work man! 🙂

My personal journaling looks a little like this:
I use an 8.5 x 11 blank page journal I bought off Amazon.
I use The Daily Stoic for a prompt.
I start by thinking about all the things I need to get done today, and write them down. I then reorder them by what is going to be the hardest for me to accomplish. (Like a simplified Eisenhower Matrix). Then, throughout the day I can come back and physically check these off as these tasks get accomplished.
I then take the remainder of the time i have to journal for that morning; read the prompt and write about it. Relating it back to my life, but also asking questions about the prompt. Sometimes there’s something going on that I just want to write about, and on those days I just ignore the prompt.
Then it’s taking the dog for a walk, getting ready for work. Etc etc.
At the end of the day, I look to see if there was anything I did not accomplish that I wanted to. If so I’ll collect all those and make a new list for me to evaluate the next day. But often I when I go to sleep and look at the list in the morning; I find that those few I didn’t get to aren’t worth the energy putting in, and I’ll discard them.
I use to end it there, but I found that sometimes I’m pretty negative on myself for not accomplishing all the tasks that I had originally envisioned. So now, after collecting the new list. I’ll spend five or ten minutes hyping up my accomplishments for the day. Write about what I’m grateful for. Celebrate the wins.
Been doing this since October 2022, and it has been the best decision. Except for those days where you spiral and are super negative on yourself. xD
Love the videos as always Jared! Trying to be better about leaving comments!! :)
