Same! I've been trying to journal since middle school and never stuck with it. Now I also use a google form to record life experiences, track certain goals like weight, exercise, learning goals, etc. and this is finally working for me. At some point I want to upgrade to something where I can add photos, location, etc. Each evening I get a calendar reminder to fill out the form, and I have a "quarterly review" style assessment to see if my goals should be modified, or my lifestyle changed to accomplish what I set out to. This method motivates me to accomplish much more over the course of the day than before I started journaling.
