The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Conscious Business by Fred Kofman

Second is Conscious Business. It is my favorite management book. It's a little bit of a sleeper hit because I actually end up recommending this one far more than my own book.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig

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.
