The idea of keeping a journal is nothing new but IMO is probably the best aid we as officials have at correcting bad habits we seem to pick up so easily. I've kept a journal for the past couple of years. In addition to situations, partners and who and where, I also try to get feed back from my partner as well as other officials who may be watching the game, for areas i can improve in. At the end of my entry I always have 4 or 5 things that I want to work on in my next game, if I feel I did well in one of those areas I drop it in the following game,but there is always somthing else to replace it. Good luck to you!!!!!
