I used to keep a journal and found it very therapeutic writing my innermost thoughts and then as I got older I'd laugh at the things that stressed me out when I was younger. Then my mum found it one day and started reading it and that put an end to it... I've tried doing it online but it's just not the same as writing it in a beautifully bound journal and flicking through the pages.

I've wanted to keep a journal for several years. But I just didn't stick to the habit.

But now http://ohlife.com has changed that.

The fact that they send you an email daily And in the same email they also put a random memory from your past has really helped me stick with the habit.

I'm into 4 months... I think it works.

Maybe you would enjoy it too...

It's a neat interface and very compelling.

I just signed up since I've been wanting to keep a journal, just never gotten around to it.

There is definitely some fear about that, there are times when I have actually cut out a page that had info I didn't want to be available any longer.
