- journaling

      - the key to journaling is to commit to writing _less_ than you want to
        or that you feel you need to. those new to the practice usually start
        by writing pages for their first couple entries and are eventually
        daunted and discouraged by trying to maintain that kind of pace.
        better to distill your thoughts a bit and only write a sentence or two.

      - journal and journalism obviously share the same root. journaling is a
        kind of investigation, an inquiry, and a search for patterns. it is
        best practice to go back and read your journal and note any themes or
        patterns that emerge over a week, a month, 90 days.
