The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish disliked it affiliate
This book is supposed to be the gold standard on negotiation. It's what's taught all over the world and at the best business schools. After reading "Never Split the Difference" and "Pitch Anything" I know now this is BS. Yes, looking for win-wins is good and not being a jerk is a good idea, but the docile approach recommended in this book will leave you on the short end too often. Even more important, you can learn more about the other person and make *both* sides happier with the outcome following Never Split the Difference.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
