Diary

• I’ve tried keeping a diary several times, but I usually give up after three days.
  • However, when I think about it, I write significantly more information on Scrapbox than in a typical diary.
  • I wonder why the diary style didn’t work for me (probably).

• I started thinking that I want to keep a diary.

• Reasons:

  • I’ve started dumping all my knowledge/thoughts into Scrapbox.
  • So, I also want to record my emotions.
  • Since I can’t write private things that I don’t want others to see on my public Scrapbox, I wanted a place for that.

• Trigger:

  • When I saw this, I thought that if I don’t keep a diary, I won’t be able to remember my current emotions in five years.
  • I felt a strong sense of loneliness, so I wanted to start keeping a diary.

• Considering the tools to use:

  • Desired features:
    • Ease of use, allowing for short sentences.
    • Multi-platform support.
    • Private.
    • Easy to record emotions.

• DayOne series:

  • It’s not that important to have specific dates, so it’s a bit different.
  • I want to know what kind of emotions I had five years ago, for example.

• Scrapbox:

  • It seems good because it’s extensible.
  • The difficulty lies in how to record dates.

    • Maybe this?

• Roam:

  • /foldrr/RoamとScrapbox

    • A combination of a diary (DAILY NOTES), a wiki, and an outliner.

    • This might be better.
  • I’ve been curious about Roam and want to try it.
  • However, it’s expensive, so I’ll be in trouble when the free trial period ends.
