You know that feeling when you’re reading a good book and you highlight a line because it was so good that you want to save it later? I’ve had that feeling so many times but in daily life too. Quarantine has finally given me the time to work on myself to the point where I’m convinced the Universe is speaking to me through everything. I’ll read from books that practically explain exactly what I’m going through, see tweets and instagrams with a quote that hits too close to home, or watch tik toks from therapists giving the best free advice. And at the beginning, I felt overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to do with all the new information and if I didn’t do something, I’d forget.
I made my resonance calendar in Notion too, but it can be done anywhere, even with a pen and paper in a journal. It’s simply meant to be a space for you to dump your thoughts so that they will stick with you longer and you can find them again if they don’t. Mine looks like a table with sections for the Type, Title, Takeaways, and Tags. In the “Type” section, I indicate where the piece of information comes from, like “book,” “tweet,” or “video;” in the “Title” section, I put the title of what I got it from, and if there is none I make one up for it; in the “Takeaways” section, I abbreviate all the key points of what resonated with me the most; and in the “Tags” section, I put the information into categories in case I want to search for specific topics later like “mental health,” “relationship tips,” or “life lessons.”
