Definition: Automatic Writing, Psychography, or Spiritual Writing

Interesting concept, to say the least. I’m counting these three synonyms, effectively, to be one. Personally, I prefer automatic writing because spiritual writing, to me, describes a hyper-conscious way to write rather than subconscious way to write.

Definition: Noise Bubble, Frisson

Can you imagine a noise bubble? I love the concept! The TED Radio Hour podcast about peering into space is also fascinating!

Visualization of the concept gave me a small dose of frisson! 🙂

Definition: Physiognomy

I love words that describe concepts people have to describe using many more words. This one has lots of prevalence today, and will always.

Definition: Regrettable Substitutes and Ogee

I get a fresh start to 2020 and the new vocabulary learning streak I ended up on last year from my newfound hobby of educational and inspirational podcast listening. Here are the first few words I learned this year. I’ll try not to let my learning get too far out of hand before posting catch up posts.

I’ll try to define what I can from my Twitter feed, and not duplicate things here. However, where I don’t have room or time to get it right on Twitter, I’ll post the definitions here. The key idea is you have the term and roughly what it means to research more, including starting with the source from where I learned it.

Customizable Daily Activities Tracker on Google Sheets

I recently created a daily activities tracker on Google Sheets for myself, to track my activities I want to do more or less of, as well as balance some relating to my many interests. Anything I make for myself digitally, I take the time to create a version others can customize to use for themselves, and this is no different.

Customizable Daily Activities Tracker on Google Sheets

With the Google Sheets document in the link, if you’d like to use it, you should make a copy for yourself before using. On the Android platform, that’s under the Share and Export choice in the main menu for managing the document. I’m not sure where it is for iPhones.

I’m not an expert in Google Sheets so I’m not sure if you can use this document via the Google Sheets app, without a Gmail account. Perhaps someone can tell me. However, you can use the document offline so you don’t need data to always use it.

Setup and usage instructions are in the document in the Setup & Instructions tab.

The tracker will ask you when you want to start tracking, so this isn’t a “New Year’s” document that will become useless if you find it too late. The tracker will track how often you do some things (on % of days) and/or how much you do it (average amount or frequency), with the latter pending on how you set up things. It’s all explained in the document.

There is a summary report page you can then screen capture to file, or share.

If you use it, please let me know if you have questions or suggestions. I may not be the greatest tech support, but I hope I’ve designed well enough I don’t have to be. 🙂

Happy New Decade!
