Ask HN: How do you keep a diary or journal?

2 pointsBiraffe4 comments

I now need to keep a diary or journal to keep track of certain things. Not necessarily technically things but more so mood.

So how do you keep track of these things?

I've been using Commit on my iPhone, it helped me get into the habit for a while but I've given up on keeping my journal some time ago... most likely because of the depression I've silently got myself into - never mind that it's one of the main tools to get out of a rut, so thanks for reminding me again :)

Let's commit to keep a journal - good luck to you too: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/commit/id473527073?mt=8

Looks decent. Only I don't have a apple device. I'm sure it will help others though.

Surely there must be something like an SMS reminder or recurring calendar event with corresponding alarm function on your computer/phone which would get you started? Try to do the good old paper calendar x-ing off of days - same thing Commit does in the end.. :)
