I kept training diaries on and off from the age of about 14 to 22. I think it was orginally for my coaches to keep tabs on me. It also fed my teenage hyper-organised-compulsive-list-making-slash-coloured-pen-disorder. This often overlapped with study procrastination.
In theory the training diary was motivating because I could see my progress in the gym and focus my sessions and thoughts. More often, however, it was motivating because a blank page equalled a lazy day and the guilt got me out on the water.
This time around though I think I'll keep a training diary so I get twice the satisfaction out of the session. This way I feel self-righteous after the session and equally as proud of myself when I write it down.
If I think of a third way to milk that post-session-feeling, I'll let you know.
