Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Structured Journaling

Structured journaling involves maintaining a small notebook to capture thoughts and experiences that resonate with you, allowing for reflection and deeper understanding of personal values. By recording encounters that evoke interest—such as lifestyles seen in various media, inspiring people, or appealing environments—you begin to identify common themes in your preferences. The process includes consistently writing down these resonances to formulate questions about their attraction. Approximately once a month, review your notes to distill and organize the values and attributes that matter to you based on these observations. This reflective practice helps uncover patterns, leading you to a clearer understanding of your priorities and aspirations in life and work.
