Every big thing gets a notebook, and the small things have nowhere to go.
There's a planner for work, a list for groceries, an app for appointments. The little things have nowhere to go. The thing your daughter said on the phone, the name of the book somebody recommended, the small moment from a Tuesday you'd like to keep. By morning most of it is gone. "The day's events along with other thoughts are what keep me up at night. So, I am writing down in my journal what is on my mind," one woman wrote in a comment in October. This is the one you leave on the nightstand for exactly that.
