Show HN: I Fixed Journaling for Myself
by kuehle on Hacker News.
Journaling is a great practice to learn more about yourself – if done daily. I tried it multiple times and couldn’t stick to it. This project is how I finally fixed it for myself. It works by eliminating my excuses. There is only one question a day that I’ll answer – no time spent on “finding the perfect topic”. I only need to go to the page – not find my notebook or create a new note/paragraph in another app. I only left myself a relatively small input area, less than a page in a small notebook – that way the commitment doesn’t feel too big. I really enjoy the process and it has become something that I do early in the morning – a little bit of time for myself. It’s now public because I am sure it could work for you too. Bonus: The data is all local, the input will be saved in the browser (IndexedDB) while I type, no login necessary – the full journal is accessible as a CSV (bottom right). https://dailyprompt.org
