I like these exercises more than listing gratitudes. It makes you notice more and you aren’t necessarily making judgements as much as observations & writing and drawing each day like this brings you back to that day when you read it again later.

If you prefer to hear her talk about it, she has some videos here:

Daily Review
I put in the main three things I’m trying to accomplish in the upper right list. I need to get better at connecting what I do per day with the weekly goals & those with the monthly goals.
This is the daily review from 2025 that I’ll be continuing in 2026. It comes from a Lynda Barry exercise. I’ll post more about that in a reply thread.
Lynda Barry on Jim Davis, from TCJ 132:
“I think he's evil. The content of his strip is horrible and mean and terrible. I think the characters in Garfield are the same jerks that are in the White House. Garfield is a Republican jerk -- that's what he always struck me as: this fat, grouchy -- it's just a horrible, horrible character, and I think Jim Davis is horrible himself for creating this.”

Lynda Barry on writing comic characters:
"...I have these four characters and any event that I come up with - automatically I have four different stories for it... It's like they're living. They're living, staring people. They don't see me necessarily, but I know exactly how they'd respond to things."
