Very interesting post. Keeping a journal is one of those things that may be tough at first, but as time goes by you start to get the hang of it and you are super-glad that you put the time in!

I agree. One of the best decisions I have ever made. It's fun and enlightening to read my thoughts a year ago when I first started this site. The uncertainties, the hopes, everything, I sure learned and grew a lot.
I actually started journaling during the hard times many years ago. I journaled through heartache and scared times. It was easier than talking to someone. Part of it is because of the tendancy to say things on paper that you would not say to someone in person and can be done anytime of the day or night. It was a tremendous release for me. I kept them until one day I decided to look through them years later. I felt the intense depression and raw pain I was experienceing at the time. I tour them up, distroyed them. What good would that bring to me or anyone else reliving such times? It is harder to journal during good and happy times although I would enjoy rereading them at a later time. I would like to journal daily but would like more of a guideline to what motivates daily journaling or a particular outline of thought with journaling.
I journal about the progress of my goals mostly. Although I do write about my challenges and setbacks, I almost always end the entry with something positive such as a lesson learned or an action I'm going to take to change the situation. As you have experience, re-reading your entries can really take you back to the time you wrote it. Many times I will read through some of my entries and get totally pumped up to take more action.
My motivation is to just document my journey to success and the lessons I've picked up. I don't journal daily though. I make an entry when I have something I want to record. Don't pressure yourself. This should be a fun project and not a chore.
Great! I also started my writing journey with keeping a diary. But as I grow up, my topics ranged on my thoughts, aspirations, emotional releases, etc. For four years now, I have kept a number of notebooks, Evrytime I get to revisit them, I get to be once again fired up. It truly helps me. And true, I agree with you, our journals we did before will be very useful until now, but unfortunately, they may be easily break down for they are just in simple notebooks. I'd like to find a software, but how much does it cost? I cant find a free journal which offers very great features.
I program I bought is in the article. I forgot exactly how much I got it for but it was less than $40 and I love it. Typing is so much faster than writing.
