I do not say that is a bad idea because I really can't say, but i would have never the time to do that, I have very little time to do anything, writing a diary of which I will read again 1% would be not a good use of my time I think. Instead I would maintain a blog, or at least make it public. This way it might be helpful to other people and you maintain the aspect of reviewing what you did or keeping it for the future.

I maintain my personal site as a remote git repo, and all of my journal files get backed up there. So I add to the journal, git push web, and what's done is done. It's up to you what you want to keep private but I've fallen in love with the workflow. Anyway, if you're worried about the time it takes to maintain a journal, perhaps you should try spending a few weekends exercising your typing skills. My entries are only 30-45 lines each (wrapped, tw=80) but take only a few moments to clack in and done.
Writing a diary can be few minutes every day.

I would like to keep personal stuff private, its not a good idea to make everything public.
