I've been trying journaling in one form or another for about 15 years now and found it completely, utterly useless. I've lost count of the number of journals, either physical or digital, I've thrown away in the past. Be them partially filled or just turned into something to rip pieces of paper off whenever I needed to write on something.

I keep some track of stuff I'm working on in my day job, so I can reconstruct what I did the day before before the standup, instead of during it as I used to, but beyond that, I just forget stuff when I don't care about it anymore. No need to keep it around in a different format, if I don't care about it enough to keep it in my mind.
