Day 35 - February 4, 2010

Feeling a lack of inspiration tonight, I decided to gather all my journals and notebooks in reference to Michael something's post on the notebooks he's accumulated over his 25 year career. Although I remember having a diary in grade school, I couldn't locate it in time, and went ahead without it. The earliest journal dates back to 1992. I didn't include the journal I'm currently writing in, so the image incorporates 17 years of journaling. I chose to only include journals that were completely filled, although I came across almost as many journals that were only half-filled. All in all, there are 34 journals/notebooks included, for an average of 2 journals a year.

There are some days that I feel I haven't accomplished much in my life, but it's nice to know, that in a way, I have something to show for the past 17 years.

Day 24 - January 24, 2010

I first learned about Mind Mapping in a graduate course I was enrolled in a year ago. They serve as an idea generation device, an organizational tool, and a memory tool. I've used them on several occasions, but never to a great extent. I'm re-sampling this software program called VUE, that works much like a mind map, so I'd figure I'd post it as today's entry.

Day 15 - January 15, 2010

I've come across a great program called Evernote for use with the iPhone and your computer that helps you store and organize what inspires or grabs your attention as you come across it, and it keeps that information synced between the two devices. I've already begun using it, and so far it's been excellent. I look forward to seeing how it progress as I add more and more info to it.

Check out Evernote. Basic membership is free.
