I've read similar posts about writing everyday, and I decided to pick it up a little over a year ago.

I quickly realized that as a student my day's were simply not that interesting and my entries looked more and more like "went to school. studied. went home. slept."

Instead I started writing every week.

This is much more manageable and forces you to take time to reflect on your life. I look forward to writing every week.

I now have the last year of my life documented in these entries (by the way, I create a filter and email them to myself with the subject line Write: MM/DD/YYYY) and it's SO rewarding to go back and read them. It really doesn't take that long - maybe less than 30 minutes per entry.

I would highly recommend it.
