If on any day

If on any day
The question is "What to do?"
Then writing about yesterday may help you
On every such day.

Self-cluing

Everything that the eyes fall on right from the moment one wakes up can be treated as a clue to do or learn something.

Following through on jobs and conversations day after day is necessary. What you did yesterday may just be the most important clues for doing something today. That makes writing what you did yesterday a good self-cluing technique.

It is easy to self-clue. Though it can be boring and cumbersome too, very much like self-help is.

Option Generator

When you want to buy something and you aren't sure what you want to pick, you try and check out the options before you make up your mind. You tell the shopkeeper, show some t-shirts in red or blue.

When you want to start your day, what do you pick? What all do you pick? From what all options do you pick whatever you pick? How much time does it take for you to figure what all options are available?

Yesterday offers you great options for today. When you put pen to paper, it is rather quick. And very very relevant. Try and you'll discover.

Yesteroo

Hop back to hop hop hop ahead!
I write what I did yesterday
To see what I'll do today.

Cost of Clarity

To see what I'll do in the coming day,
First I write what I did and didn't do in the day gone by.

(Fresh notes, all by memory,
Not by flipping back the pages of my diary.
Morning or evening, once every day.
Morning, mostly.)

QTDTW

Q = questions
T = thoughts
D = decisions
T = talk
W = walk

Mission begins in the earnest

Finally a method, a rule, a habit, a technique that ticks a lot of boxes for me.

I call it YT.

YT for clarity.

These two lines sum up the method or technique:

When you write what you did or didn't do yesterday
You can see clearly what you'll do today!

Of course, clarity is scary. And liberating too at the same time. Try with caution and thrill.
