BestOf journal reduction framework
An analog, pen-and-paper framework that reduces daily journals into a curated commonplace book. The process: write a daily journal as usual, underline the most resonant passages with a red pen, let the thoughts settle for a few days, copy the best underlined sections into a separate 'BestOf' journal with a black pen, and then review weekly, striking through anything no longer needed. Over time this effortful reduction produces a single repository of the best ideas from all daily journals.
