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%>

+ the daily template:

- #42SmartBlock Note for myself
- **A note for myself**
- Note from Previous Day Self
- {{[[embed]]: ((<%BLOCKMENTIONSDATED:1,NTNDS,Yesterday,Today,NONE%>))}}
- {{📝 Write a note to my next day self:42SmartBlock:Meta.NTNDS}}

On Friday, @tracyplaces and I will host a RoamStack event about using journaling to focus your attention—and turning it into a habit.

We'll discuss interstitial journaling, notes for our future selves, and more.
