Huh, I didn't expect to see an article of mine on HN this morning. It's been almost 3 years since I wrote that article and I've been journaling consistently since then.
One interesting observation is that I have inadvertently been writing longer and longer journal entries. In 2019 the average entry was about half a page (I have pretty cramped handwriting), and I'm currently writing about a page and a half. I believe I've also gotten a lot better at expressing myself to myself (I've had a lot of practise).
I also tried using a digital journal for a while, but found I needed a distraction free environment that only pen and paper could provide. My handwriting hasn't improved though.
- greymalik 4y agoDo you find value in going back to read what you’ve journaled previously, or is the value mostly in the act of writing it down?
- primozk 4y agoHave you noticed any memory improvement or other changes? EDIT: I should read the article, before commenting :)
- TurkishPoptart 4y agoI love the Bear design and interface and curious about using it! Is dark mode available, or custom color schemes/fonts?
