A warm welcome to my journal. I’ve read about how good journaling is on numerous occasions and yet I’ve never actually created one. So, I thought, what better than to start my own personal journal and publish it for all to see on my leadership-and-development website?
I got the motivation to start a journal by beginning to read The Miracle Morning: The 6 Habits That Will Transform Your Life Before 8AM and I’m only about a third into the book, so will include some of my learnings from the book in the journal.
So far though, I’m really liking what I’m reading and have already been getting up pretty early to start my new morning routine.
I think the best way to do this journal will probably be to create a new post for each day that I journal. As I learn more about the journaling process and how best to do it, I would expect for the entries to improve or at least begin to show some consistency or follow some form of standards as the days go by.
Ok, here we go…

My Journal Entry For November 21st, 2022
Morning Routine And General Diary Slept back at home today so was able to fully complete my morning routine. Amazon shopping order came first thing. It’s not as good as Tesco was, you don’t really know what they’ve missed out and it’s quite expensive for what you get. Might get my brother to do a Lidl […]
My Journal Entry For 20th November 2022
Morning Routine And General Diary Well to say that I slept on a pull-down bed in the hospital last night I didn’t have too bad a night’s sleep! The only slight problem I had was the room was a little too warm for my liking. The morning routine has gone to pot today, I’ve only done […]

Morning Routine And General Diary Completed my morning routine, and had a much better night’s sleep last night! Our AI horse gambling bot had a bad day yesterday, we only won a couple of quid all day, I guess some profit is better than a loss though. Don’t think I had much success with our AI […]
My Journal Entry For 12th November 2022
Morning Routine And General Diary Completed my morning routine, wouldn’t say I felt the best though as I had a shocking night’s sleep, can possibly blame the Friday night extra glass of red wine! My wife and I went for a short lunchtime walk down the canal near where we live in Leeds, UK. Then […]
