Due to the nature of my work, I rarely have personal time. Even though I’ve been forcing myself to write a daily journal for over 256 days, as an engineer, I honestly don’t think it’s an effective approach.
Sometimes it takes me an hour just to plan and write, and the worst part is it distracts me from more important tasks or gets interrupted. So from now on, I’ll be focusing on output that actually delivers results.
I won’t give up on the day I reach my goal—what matters is not letting this become a meaningless routine.
Instead of keeping a daily journal, I’ll track how much time I spend on each task—that’s the kind of record that actually makes sense.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I don't have your discipline to keep journaling everyday, unfortunately.
Doing so summarizes the knowledge you acquire during the day, the week or at least summarizes a complex subject you are studying at the moment, which you can use as a reference in the future, and by doing this publicly as you are doing, this reference can be used not only by you but by others as well :)
