Life goes fast . So fast, that sometimes it passes through our hands and runs away like sand between our fingers. We often consider this speed a good thing, because it means we are not bored . It's actually not that edifying to think back on what we did in the last week or last month and remember almost nothing. Nothing worth remembering, apparently . Is it really like that? Matthew Dicks , American writer and elementary teacher, found a solution and called it Homework for life , which I could translate as “the homework for life”. The concept of Homework for life At the end of the day, of every day, sit down and think about what happened . If you were to see yourself again through the eyes of a future you, what would you say happened today that has never happened before?
Or, if you had to summarize today with a sentence that tells Canada Phone Number the anecdote that characterizes it the most , what would you write? This exercise allows you to reflect on the day - on the time that passes - and extract a moment every day that made it unique and special , even in its ordinariness. Matthew Dicks has his own method, which you can draw inspiration from . Every evening he opens an Excel sheet where he writes the sentence that will allow him, in the near future, to remember the moment that made the day extraordinary , in one way or another. Each row of the Excel sheet contains a date and next to it is the phrase of the day. No more than one sentence , because the goal is not to tell the story in detail, but to allow your future self to retrieve it from the memory drawer with agility.
The same can be done with a notebook and a pen or a smartphone and a note-taking app. The important thing is to complete the reflection and write down the memory every day, every day, preferably in the evening , so as to have a fresher picture of the day that has just passed. The joy of living every moment Practicing this practice has an immediate side effect: life flows more slowly . What first seemed like a hectic day, in which you didn't have a single moment to stop and think, with the reflection of the evening becomes a life lived with greater intensity .
