I did not sketch at all and barely wrote anything in my journal this last few days (not even my reading journal). But it could have been worse as I had written absolutely nothing up until I decided I should at least write a few lines to summarize those days. And I did, which is great no matter what as I now have a record of what happened no matter how not great that was ;)

As far as the reading journal is concerned, I have mixed feelings. I've taken a lot of notes while reading, like I always do but those are notes that will end in my Zettelkasten, not in my journal. What happened was that I could not be bothered with writing down any impression about those books (which is what I would like to put in the reading journal). I'm not sure if I should try write those impressions afterward, trying to remember whatever I felt and was thinking, or simply write about me not doing it?
