#1: Journaling

It has been a long, frustrating, yet ultimately a rewarding day. I’m writing this at half past eleven on a Wednesday. So it best be kept short.

Towards the end of work day, I received an email from a person I hadn’t interacted with or even heard about in quite a while, Derek Sivers. It was regarding my “What I’m doing now” page. He had re-built the functionality behind them and wanted to now if my profile and information was still accurate.

While updating said information, I found myself looking at other “What I’m doing now” profiles and stumbled across a fellow developer in Finland who has been writing journal like entries on his own site for years now.

Every single day.

Journaling is supposed to have a great many positives, and perhaps in one of these journals I’d like to talk about it, but not before I’ve done it for a substantial time myself.

I’d also like to talk about why today was such a frustrating day, but I’ll leave that for tomorrow.

Is this a promise, or an attempt at keeping a daily journal? We’ll see.
