The idazery Practice

You've never read back what you wrote.

· 1 min read

You've been writing for a while.

Weeks. Maybe months.

Every entry made sense the day you wrote it.

But if I asked you now:

“What has changed in your life these last two months?”

You probably couldn't say.

Not because it isn't written down.

Because you've never looked at it all together.

One day at a time, it looks like little.

Seen all at once, something else shows up.

Write.

Before you open anything,
write down three things you think
took up the most of your month.

Don't look them up.

Write what you remember.

Look.

Now open your timeline.

Read back the entries of the last month.
From the first to the last.

Without editing anything.

And look for this:

What shows up again and again?

Which name keeps coming back?

Which worry returns in different words?

What did you say you'd do
and never appeared again?

Does it match what you just wrote?

It almost never matches completely.

What you remember is what made the most noise.

What you wrote is what happened most.

Decide.

Don't decide what to change.

Pick one pattern.

Just one.

And decide whether you want
to keep feeding it or not.

Do.

Open idazery.

In today's entry, write:

“What keeps repeating in my month is…”

And then:

“This week I'm going to…”

Finish the second one with something small
that you can really do.

Writing saves what happened.

Reading it back is how you understand it.
