<li>So first thursday since serial postcast came out, and there's no more serial. But hey, it's christmas!
</li>
<li>this one isn't about serial, but it's about Narritave.
</li>
<li>NO, NOT YOU COUNT CHOCULA.
</li>
<li>As Humans, Narritave affects all of us
</li>
<li>It's easy to encode, understand, and empathise with information in narritive structure
</li>
<li>Narrative might be part of what makes us human
</li>
<li>Reverse GTD as encoding - Partially a playful way of saying "Dear diary…"
</li>
<li>Using that form for 3 years
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>First HK journal, started as a way to quit smoking, cute character every day xMas gift
</li>
<li>end of the week, Move cute characters from the "weekly" section to the "monthly
</li>
<li>realized that it could be used not just for cute characters, but cool thoughts I had or significant events
</li>
<li>Second one didn't have enough space on the right, not used as much, but still used
</li>
<li>Less use meant monthly lookback worked better.
</li>
<li>Third freeform notebook as I start to become expert in the form
</li>
<li>Not enough color in it thoguh, - Amassed a colection of stickers and stickies to make it more colorful
</li>
<li>Color affected me more than I realized
</li>
<li>Broke convention of page-spread per week
</li>
<li>Looking forward to #4
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Each day is a chance to construct the narritave of me.
</li>
<li>Each week (and month) was a chance to deconstruct and reconstruct me
</li>
<li>Even each year is a chance to reconstruct, and this year I can finally play with that form
</li>
<li>So…
</li>
<li>One day my wife shell and I were talking about a difficult period of time for the both of us.
</li>
<li>Lots of hurt in there for both of us (especially her), and we were takling about how it started
</li>
<li>I had this ULTRA CLEAR MEMORY of HOW IT WAS … (so did she) and the stories dind't match up
</li>
<li>So I looked back.
</li>
<li>I was lying to myself.
</li>
<li>Which made me realize the past is the lie the tell ourselves
</li>
<li>Unconcious process as to what gets chosen, and the story we tell ourselves.
</li>
<li>This journaling is a real chance to shape the lie we tell ourselves.
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Obviously it's grounded in the "truth"
</li>
<li>but if anything it's a subjective truth.
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>As a subjet, you cannot get away from your subjective nature
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I suspect that is what the Buddha was on about,
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>8fold path is just a way to take a break from the subjective nature of … nature.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bloody moon pointers.
</li>
<li>In a lot of ways my Journal is full of Shell,
</li>
<li>she really is the other protagonist in my story.
</li>
<li>You and me vs. the world Baby.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Synchronicities and how they relate to yoru story
</li>
<li>Meaningful co-incidences. Nothing more, nothing less.
</li>
<li>they give rise to depth to your narrative
</li>
<li>don't want to go into anything beyond the fact that humans are meaning-imbueiong-into-co-incidence-machines
</li>
<li>We can't help but attach meaning,
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>So there is benifit to make it work with your personal narritave
</li>
<li>and make your personal narrative work with it.
</li>
</ul>
