Comment on On keeping a journal: 1091 days of life data collection

Comments

I've been keeping a journal since 2007, however, my entries were not as frequent as Steve. Lately, I've been obsessive with personal data collection a la Daytum.com, iDoneThis.com, Fitocracy, MemoLane.com, RescueTime.com, and Timehop.com that passively record things about my past, which is fascinating, empowering or downright depressing when I see what I've done in the past.

It's interesting to use these services or manually (Moleskine and pen) to be more cognizant and aware of where we're going in our lives, to be more appreciative of what we've done or how we've spent our time in the most "ideal" way we construct for ourselves.
