    "Perfect paper picking" is predicated, in part, by the possibilities of the particular pen, or pencil purposed upon pristine pages of parchment.
    Yet, I perceive, no pre-packaged pen, or pencil, partners said journal, nor are propositions for the perusal of a perfect pens parameters for the perfectly picked paper provided, producing a partially prohibitive problem.

    For similarly curious minds wondering what Grey wrote in his journal from 1:00-1:20, here is what I could discern:
    *London*
    -
    *I am personally grateful for:* Being the head of the order
    -
    *I am professionally grateful for:* That some members of the audience are so interested in the videos they will pause them to catch every detail
    -
    *What's on my mind?* You know what's neat? Lorem Ipsum text. When you [need] to fill up a whole, entire box of writing Lorem Ipsum text is just the best most perfect solution to that problem, rather than having to ramble on and on in coherent sentences you're trying to make fit just right.

    It really is a much better system than new year goals. I watched the cortex podcast where this was described and decided to intentionally-vaguely theme this year as the year of 'making' as I wanted to be more productive in my spare time rather than watch tv... I've definitely been much more creative and have endeavoured to 'make' as much as possible. I taught myself 3-d printing, woodworking, soldering, and painting with plenty of completed and to-be-completed projects in the works. If this were a new year's 'resolution' I doubt it would have been as effective as the story-telling part of my brain found it easier to associate the year of 'making' with day to day things. Anyway long story short I'm buying this journal. Thanks Grey!

      What's on my mind?
      You know what's neat? Lorem Ipsum text. When you (?) fill up a whole, entire box of writing Lorem Ipsum text is just the best most perfect solution to that problem, rather than (?) to ramble on on on in coherent sentences you're trying to make just right.

    Daily gratitudes are one of the most effective, consistent, and easy things to do that I learned a long time ago. There's a ton of other great techniques, but daily gratitude is noticeable in its ability to fight depression and I'm still doing it, where those other techniques take more effort and are less apparent in their impact. When it's HARDEST to come up with gratitudes is when it's most satisfying when you finally do.
