I ran into the idea of an engineering daybook whilst reading The Pragmatic Programmer . This was a notebook which was used to keep track of all the issues and their solutions that an engineer ran into daily. I like the idea, so I keep one with varying degrees of attention paid to the habit.
This Christmas season my son gave me a notebook that I thought looked pretty cool. I am already using Obsidian as my electronic notebook, and I have a Monk Manual for my hard-copy planning activities. So what should I use this notebook for? After ruminating on the question for a bit I’ve decided to turn it into my “Life Daybook”. A book “in which (I) record what (I) did, things (I’ve) learned, sketches of ideas, readings from meters: basically anything to do with ” my life.
The first bit sees more standard diary-like usage than I’d imagined, but with some focus I’ll put it to the use I envision.
That’s the idea, anyway.
