And we are off…
As you will hear in the inaugural podcast (or assumed from the last post), we have started our experiment! The first “treatment” that was chosen through a completely random selection by our children (we have three of those), was JOURNALING. The instructions were simply, “write” in a journal everyday. And by write, he could write, type, talk to text; it didn’t matter as long as he was getting something down every day. We set out for 1 month of journaling prior to the “results”, however in my research. I discovered that much less time was needed for change, so we revised to 14 days.
Barnes decided to complete this experiment with a physical notebook and pen, which surprised me because he is such a tech junkie, I was sure that he would research and find the latest greatest app for this purpose.
From my perspective, the project started of as a homework assignment that had to be completed. I even found the journal rejected on the floor one day in the first week.
Yet Barnes stuck to it and journaled consistently in the evenings.
But then I noticed that as he continued to journal, he got a bit more technical and perhaps analytical (as he does). I noticed that he started referencing his phone while journaling. I cannot wait to hear what that is all about.
