- The author shares three primary methods for composing two-sentence journal entries: writing on scrap paper, revising a Google Keep note, and writing directly in the journal.
- Scrap paper method involves jotting down quick sentences during breaks, refining them throughout the day, and transferring the final version to the journal.
- Google Keep method leverages the app's convenience for recording and revising entries on the go, especially useful during busy or mobile days.
- Direct journal writing is reserved for busy days, focusing on immediate thoughts or reflective moments before sleep.
- The author maintains both an analog (handwritten in a Moleskine) and a digital (markdown file) version of the journal for preservation, continuity, and legibility.
- Formatting in the analog journal includes line breaks and indents for readability, while the digital version uses markdown for organization and ease of access.
- The digital journal includes a table of contents with year and month headings for easy navigation and reference.
- The author emphasizes that these methods are personal preferences and encourages readers to adapt or ignore them based on what works best for their own journaling practice.
