As much as I love making this my habit, the biggest obstacle for me is syncing. I want to jot something down in so many different places: not just in front of a PC, but also in a train, car, shower room, restaurant, grocery, and bed. I use a mixed environment (Unix, Mac and Windows). Some of the machines are separated by firewalls. So I tend to scatter a journal-like file in many places. It's hard to combine them all in one place. And no, I don't want to give my journal to some third-party cloud solution. I wonder if anyone handles cases like this.

It should still land in your inbox, but sorted under that folder. You can even text from your phone to email addresses nowadays. I do this all the time to collect notes, and email clients are robust, emails have metadata like dates, and everything is easily searchable, etc.
