I've been journaling to varying degrees for many years. My digital notebook goes back to late 2002 with the launch of OneNote. Millions upon millinso of words about side projects, work, life, career, things I am reading or watching. My physical notebooks/sketchbooks go back decades, one a year, crammed full of sketches, ideas and small notes about stuff that I couldn't even tell you what I was thinking at the time. My Wordpress blog which started as a plain text based website in 1993, and has slowly accumulated, intermittently, written notes (the ones that make sense) from my notebooks that go back all the way to the 1980s and earlier. Journaling has helped think through projects, career trajectory, travel plans, working through depression, personal loss and even what coffee I like. Journaling (not a diary) isn't for everyone, but it is something that works for me.
