## Plan to "fail" and catch up later Starting a daily log can feel intimidating, but my philosophy is to stay flexible and forgiving. It's okay to miss a day or two, or even several weeks. In fact, missing a few days can be a fun exercise to try to fill in the gaps later on, and the catch-up process can encourage you to keep logging more often. You'll be surprised at how much you forget when you don't keep up with it! Don't worry about getting every detail right or missing a day or two–my logging stays flexible and forgiving. I fill in missing information later on or simply let it go and focus on the present. The goal of the daily log is to help you reflect and learn, not to create a perfect record of your life.
