I had Austin Kleon’s book, Steal Like an Artist on my wish list for a while and just recently picked it up, thinking that if there was just one good idea in it, it would be well worth the money paid.

There were, in fact, many good ideas but the one I’ve started with is his idea of keeping of journal of good things that happened in a day. It’s a retrospective diary, with entries made the day after but first thing in the morning and I do believe that he’s right: it gives a positive start to every day.

So… just a thought — start a diary of good things that happened the day before!
