Not OP, but have been journaling for the past 7 years with some pauses in between. The greatest tools for me are: 1. When I'm feeling as if I'm stuck I go back sometime (like a week) and confirm that I've indeed progressed. 2. My recollection of events is better just because I'm logging them. If I really want to confirm something I can go back and check. This is specially helpful in day to day issue resolution with my wife, which has been an important topic for us. 3. Sometimes I go back a year or more to just have some memories. It helps me to feel human because I had big troubles with long term memory.
