Derek Sivers on journaling daily.
Almost all the thoughts I have on any subject are the result of writing in my diary and journals, then questioning myself and working through alternate ways of thinking about it, and finally returning to the subject days or months later with a clear head and updated thoughts, seeing how they’ve changed or not over time.
Also on how writing helps him do the work required, to have an opinion.
I always write down my initial thought first, but then question it afterwards with slight detachment, and consider different perspectives.
Of course, as per Sivers usual, the whole post is detailed and helpful, and shows you his process. Go, have a look!
