I will resolve in proportion how useful they seem for me in particular. This is, unfortunately, arbitrary. If enough people comment asking for it, I will instead resolve to MKT

Do you keep a physical journal or a doc on a computer?
@juan I keep a synced notebook using Joplin. I've tried physical ones in the past and it's typically not lasted more than a half dozen entries
@LivInTheLookingGlass Have you tried other solutions (I'm especially thinking of trilium here)
@JoyVoid very occasionally, but I find that the sync feature really matters to me, and I already keep a bunch of other notes in Joplin

@LivInTheLookingGlass I suspect the writing direction played an important role here.

How often is "frequent"?
@horse somewhere between daily and weekly
