Describe something concrete
Write about a detail you can recognise again: the chair beside the window, the towel within reach, or the time when the room was quiet. Specific observations are easier to use than broad judgments such as good session or poor session.
Keep the note brief enough that you would still write it on a busy day. One sentence is plenty. There is no requirement to list every activity or compare the session with yesterday’s.
Read before adding more
When you return, glance at the previous note and choose whether it still applies. A different room, schedule, or preference may call for a different beginning. The note is a reminder of an option, not an instruction.
From time to time, remove details that are no longer useful. A small record of practical choices can stay personal and flexible without becoming an archive that needs organising before you can begin.
A few common questions
Do I need to follow every suggestion?
No. These are general editorial ideas. Choose one useful detail, adapt it, or leave it aside.
