Fascinating, this guy and gwern would get along well.
However, the first word that comes to me for this behavior is... hoarding, who would ever look at all of this stuff?
Not judging or anything, but I feel that all this effort directed backwards (at the past) would have so much more impact if pointed forwards (making new things).
Since I started mine, every december 31st I read my journal for the past year and I feel like I am writing too much stuff already.
This is pushing me to make a conscious effort to recognize, in 'real time', what is important and what isn't, I find that to be a great exercise in mindfullness.
- NhanH 12y agoI agree that the issue about hoarding is true. In my context, I'm actually thinking about more of a personal system that happens to have journal as part of it (and to do list, and personal knowledge etc.). Partly a reason why I think the spare machine is not a good idea (processing data on it would be a hassle), and why paper doesn't work.
