Of course, overall, a degree will have a huge effect five years down the track. However, each individual assignment/test/lecture isn't going to be important. I suppose this might be a case of the incremental importance, but how would you classify it? On an unrelated note, the old layout was much less harsh on my eyes. I set my screen to a soft cream/beige on purpose to avoid the bright white; your blog is much harder to read now. (Unless you haven't done a change and my computer is acting up, in which case please excuse me!) Rhiannon I’m curious how university/college fits into this scheme.

I use it as a period to brainstorm current issues in my life. Other than that, I write whenever I feel I need to. If I'm tackling a tricky problem, I'll think it through on paper. I don't spend much time looking through past entries, but I do occasionally. -Scott Charlie,

I'm curious, I keep a log of challenges I face but sometimes I think I spend too much time logging and reviewing rather than doing. thanks Charlie Scott…interesting to keep a journal on solving problems…if you can how much time do you spend reviewing the journal (weekly or monthly)?

I also have taken to writing "wishes" in there and have gone back much later to see most of them (the ones that I really wanted) ending up happening. Whether it happened by hard work or synchronicity it didn't matter! Scott, I really like your idea of your journal being a place to write about finding solutions instead of just a daily log.
