The days you don't feel like writing are the ones that count.

You wrote for a few days.

Then one day you didn't.

And the next day it was even harder to start again.

It isn't lack of discipline.

It's that you decided, without noticing,
that an entry has to be a proper entry.

Long. Thoughtful. Worth reading.

So on a bad day, the choice is that or nothing.

And nothing wins.

Write.

Think of the last day you skipped.

Write one sentence about it.

Not about what you should have written.

About what that day was.

“Today I had no energy and I spent it on…”

Look.

Read it.

It's short. It isn't brilliant.

And it says more about that day
than the blank space you left.

Now look at the mood you'd give it.

The days you skip are rarely the good ones.

They're the ones you'd most like to understand later.

Decide.

Decide what a bad day looks like in your diary.

Not the ideal day.

The minimum.

One sentence and a mood.

Or just a word.

Something so small
that you can't say you had no time.

Do.

Open idazery.

In today's entry, write your minimum:

“On a bad day, I'll write…”

And tomorrow, when you don't feel like it,
do exactly that.

Nothing more.

A good diary isn't the one with the best days.

It's the one that's still there on the worst ones.

See you next Sunday,

Jesús
