☀️Daily Log:
- Exactly one month of using roam
  - Since work has started, I am using it less and less, but making a concerted effort to use it for outside reading a bit more
  - Starting with taking notes today on the books How to take Smart Notes
- Read an article summarizing the book How to take Smart Notes called How to Take Smart Notes - 10 Principles to Revolutionize Your Note-Taking and Writing
- Joined an online book club on this book as well
  - Update on February 1st, 2021: didn’t follow through with this book club
- Read a few quotes about love by kids
  - quotes “Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.”
  - quotes “You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”

Daily Stoic::
- The writing from Seneca asks to put philosophy first if living life is a priority. The problem is not that I am too busy during the day to make time for things like reading, meditating and pondering - the issue is that in today’s day and age our attention is stolen by everything around us. The introspective activities can’t compete with Reddit, instagram and Netflix.
