If you use @RoamResearch and like to journal, here’s a SmartBlock for ya.

Writing a note to my next-day self is like creating a tiny time capsule.

I have my best ideas in the evening and can now trigger my thinking the next day, giving my subconscious time to add to the mix.
Hat tip to my friend @tracyplaces who gave me the idea.

Apart from continuing a train of thought, it’s also motivating.

After a workday, it feels good to pat myself on the back. Because my next-day self, always ready to criticize or downplay any work done, will need it.
Here’s the code you need to send a note a day into the future, using Roam42 SmartBlocks:

- #42SmartBlock Meta.NTNDS
- [📝](<%DATE:Tomorrow%>) [Note to Next Day Self]([[NTNDS]])
- <%CURSOR%>

Want to focus throughout the day? Then journal in Roam!

Interstitial journaling is a technique where you write between tasks, to offload what's on your mind and prime yourself for the next task.

I've created a nifty SmartBlock to prompt you. Code in next tweet.
The first SmartBlock you need contains the journaling template:

- #42SmartBlock Meta.IJ
- <%TIME%>
- I've done::
- <%CURSOR%>
- I'll do::
-
- I want::
-
- {{New entry:42SmartBlock:Meta.IJ}}
The second SmartBlock is the one you call onto your Daily Notes page once day, organizing all entries under [[Interstitial journal]]:

- #42SmartBlock Interstitial journal
- [[Interstitial Journal]]
- {{New entry:42SmartBlock:Meta.IJ}}
