“You, Alexandr, always experienced happiness during the period when you
finished your book the day before,” as an example, or something of that sort,
or “you were always irritable after you held a work conference with people,
and the next day was always an unlucky day for you.” I mean, this can be
recorded. I think it would be great to create this kind of diary, a memory diary.
But more so, I’d say, probably a mood diary. But also so that this chat — this
must be taken into account — leads the interlocutor into a dialogue... I simply
noticed one thing: for more than 10 years I have been advising people and
readers to keep a diary, but everyone keeps it incorrectly. Because a person
who is currently precisely in a state of dementia, and prostration, and lostness
— today the day has passed, and do you know how he writes his diary? He
simply remembers the first thing that comes to mind, like “dinner was cool,”
“the waiter was handsome,” and the person writes that today was just dinner,
cool, saw friends, came home, everything is fine, your mood is good — and
that’s how the person wrote the diary. But that is the wrong way to keep a diary.
A person shouldn’t just record whatever popped into his head, assuming
that because it came to mind, that’s the kind of day he had. Instead, you have
to turn on your own head and ask yourself: how did you feel in the morning?
And what were you doing in the morning before lunch? And how did you feel
in the morning before lunch? And write that in the diary. Then ask yourself
further: from lunch until 6 PM, how did you feel, what were you doing? And
write that in the diary. Then again ask yourself: how did you feel after the end
of the working day, after 6-7 PM until night, how did you feel, what were you
doing? And write that. And then again ask yourself: what time did you go to
bed, and how did you feel when you were going to bed? And write that. That
is how a diary should be written. But people are dominated by dementia and
laziness after all this darkness, and they keep a diary in such a way that it’s just:
“today there was a bad taxi driver, otherwise everything is normal, as usual,”
and that’s it. That person wrote the diary for 5 minutes; that is not a diary.
He didn’t even strain his brain, didn’t even switch his vibrations —
meaning he just scribbled something in his autopilot mode. This is not
a diary; it provides no training for memory or the brain, no vigilance, no
awareness, you see. And so I began to think about this, I started talking to
my programmers, discussing how all of this could be done. And then I say:
