Another thing I'll be using this log for is for tagging purposes. I'll tag what I actually did in the day. This may prove useful because I often plan things in my timeblock that I don't end up doing, and that'd make searching for the days I did it hard in notion.

Might also be pretty easy for scripting purposes.

Meditation (Day 32)

40 minutes went well today! I did give in to the urge to look at the timer 1 minute and 20 seconds before the end of the meditation, but otherwise it was good. I think stage 3 (invoking introspective attention) does indeed need some work, but also trying stage 4 (making introspective attention continuous) is something I can work on as well.

I went ahead and bought The Mind Illuminated (for Kindle). It's going to be a solid reference book. For example, it'll be good to revisit the chapters on stage 3 and stage 4, as I've been in there for a while and so there might be something I've forgotten that will jump out at me on reread.

Dream

I had the dream upon waking up, and tried to narrate it back to myself. Perhaps I should have done it out loud. It is gone now.... Too bad.

Blog Progress for the Day

The first post I'm working on is "An Introduction to Meditation by a Beginner". It is an interesting process returning to a bit of writing each day. Right now, I'm focusing on adding content, and maybe organizing it a bit, but not editing or deleting anything.

At some point I'll have to decide there's enough content and work on editing it, though. And then just publish it. I think I'll create a /blog area of the site.
