I recently found out about a LifeRemix from Guy Kawasaki’s Blog. LifeRemix is “a band of bloggers who enrich people’s lives through blogging” and looks a nice resource for people, like me, who are on a journey of continuous personal development and learning.
Anyway, one of the articles aggregated on LifeRemix, and highlighted by Guy, struck me as worth mentioning, as it is something I will try myself. The author of The Happiness Project Blog, Gretchen Rubin, wrote a post about starting her daily “one-sentence journal“, saying
The idea of keeping a proper journal was far too daunting, so I decided instead to keep a “one-sentence journal.”
which I think is kinda how I feel as well. I initially started this blog to journal my experiences, thoughts and feelings on a daily basis, but found it rather difficult to write about something worthwhile telling people everyday or even once every few days. But I still want to remember these times, I don’t want to look back 10, 20 years from now and think, what was I doing? So a one or two sentences at the end of the day is really simple and doable, and since I’ve already dedicated the last 1-2 hours of my days to practicing my writing and reading, this extra thing would fit right in with my current habit.
I’m not sure I’ll post each daily “one-sentence” here on my blog, since I don’t think it of much value to you, but I might post something after a week of my combined one-sentence journal entries, if looks interesting enough and you’re interested.

The idea is to create your own one sentence journal not to read someone elses

Twitter is the ultimate one sentence journal.
