Keep a daily journal

But I’m trying again next year. I wrote sporadically, usually associated with emotional events. I have thought of going back into facebook or emails and reconstructing the year because it bothers me to have blank pages.

At any rate I have my journal ordered for next year and can’t wait for it to come in. Letts has a great daily journal in a manageable 5×8 format that’s been a good prompt in previous years.

For some time now I have been concerned that I was essentially journaling into the ethernet when I posted a status on Facebook or tweeted. My journal was going unused.

I recently found this app for my iPhone called “Momento”, and was thrilled. Not only can I write little notes on the go when I don’t have my journal, but I can also pull in my FB status entries, tweets, and RSS feeds (including 43Things!). I can also take photos and paste them to the entries.

It’s a great memory jog, and I can fill in some of the blanks by printing out and pasting entries into my journal for those days where I don’t recall what happened (and sometimes this is as recently as the past week).
