-Journalling and other ways of keeping track of things that have happened
-========================================================================
-
-A calendar tells you what should happen in the future.
-A journal or diary tells you what you did in the past.
-You can combine them, and treat past calendar items as a sort of journal,
-but a calendar tends not to be a good format for writing down what you
-did or thought in any detail.
-
-The main benefit of a journal is to have a place to record your thoughts,
-and those actions that you may need to remember in the future.
-The level of detail you use depends on your circumstances, time, and energy.
-For example, if you do scientific research, you'll have a lab journal or
-similar book in which you write down all your experiments and conclusions
-and thoughts related to them.
-
-I use a set of text files (markdown files) for capturing the thought
-processes when developing software (they're actually part of a private
-Ikiwiki instance).
-I think out loud by writing down my thinking process,
-and try to do this with the minimum of self-censorship.
-The journal is not meant for others to read,
-and this gives me a lot of freedom to be as stupid and wrong and silly and
-opinionated (and occasionally rude) as possible.
-
-Journalling can require a bit of effort,
-but it can be very helpful.
-The process of expressing thought processes in writing makes them more
-explicit, and often more clear.
-Anything that's hard to express tends to be unclear in the head, too.
-Later, a journal can be helpful to answer things like
-"what was I thinking?".
-
-Apart from effort, journalling requires time. I type reasonably fast,
-so the extra time to write down my thoughts in some detail, as prose
-that's easily readable later, is not a big overhead. Others might prefer
-to keep a handwritten journal, and only jot down the more important bits,
-and stick to keywords. Or record audio, perhaps. Experiment with what works
-for you; maybe you'll find something, or maybe you'll find it's all wasteful.
-
-The act of journalling should be as easy as possible.
-There should be minimal steps required to start writing,
-and the only requirement for the actual text should be that it's expressing
-what you're thinking as you write it.
-A plain text file works wonderfully; a simple word processing document
-would work too, if you prefer that kind of writing tool.
-
-Apart from journalling, you may want to have some automatic logging
-of events in your life. Anything that you want to keep track of, if
-it can be logged automatically, is easy. Anything that requires manual
-effort is likely to not work quite so well.
