Some years ago I decided I wanted to journal my daily activities and I almost filled up a whole journal before I gave it up. I keep thinking I should do it again. I've started journaling my daily meals because I've had some health issues and I want to track what I eat. I also wanted to start losing weight so meal tracking seemed to be a way to help. But beyond that I seem to be getting into more and more arguments with my wife about things that happened in the recent past, and I feel like journaling daily things would be helpful just for tracking recent personal history.
