       | Great tips! I also do "3 things I've learned" that day, which
       | could be an interesting fact, an esoteric code thing, or
       | something random in the news.
       | 
       | This is a rewarding one to look back on

       | I've built a service that lets your create an online blog from
       | your paper journal. I use it daily, and I find I'm a lot more
       | consistent with journaling knowing others are reading my writing.
       | I also write way more without all the tech distractions:

         | It seems original - blogging from handwritten notes. My first
         | thought was - how accurate is it? i.e. if I'm to blog-post from
         | a note, automagically, I'd love to have the confidence that
         | there are not typos/OCR-issues.

       | Just created a step by step audio flow for this if anyone is
       | interested, great way to actually do it:

       | I also journal since multiple years, and I feel that this many
       | questions create too much pressure.
       | 
       | My best approach was simply writing down bullet points of stuff
       | which I found noticeable.

         | I've also found that journaling without prompts is much more
         | sustainable for me. Now, for the second year, I'm doing daily
         | morning pages of at least 750 words. It takes me about 30
         | minutes of free-flow writing. I can write whatever comes, and
         | if nothing comes, I write that. It's helped me to become much
         | more self-aware about what's going on in my mind and also
         | mostly solved my fear of starting from a blank page.
         | 
         | Initially, I used https://750words.com/ which helped to create
         | a routine. But now I'm using obsidian daily notes with a word
         | counter plugin.
