TSJ FTW
I've been two-sentence journaling for a bit now, and I'm digging it. I first heard the idea from Alexander in his post, Allow me to introduce the two-sentence journal (which is also where I discovered Thousand Year Old Vampire):
What I needed was a method that would make journaling feasible while still producing a text I'd enjoy reading.
As Alexander suggests, a two-sentence journal entry is not only feasible to write, it's also easy and fun to read.
You win on both sides.
In less than a minute, I can open my daily note, write the entry, and close back out.
And I can peruse entries just as quickly with my tsj script, which searches my daily notes for the #TSJ tag, which I add to every entry.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Review my two-sentence journal entries.
#
set -e
set -u
set -o pipefail
cd $NOTES_PATH/Journal
rg "#TSJ" --pretty --no-line-number --sortr=path | less -R
Thanks for the great idea, Alexander!
