I think it would make for a really fascinating read if you plugged some keywords into google scholar like "diary", "life logging", "personal journal", "mind mapping", or something else that you think might be methodologically similar and found experimental research conclusions that you could vividly illustrate by reference to your personal experiences -- "Hey I've seen that!"

Also, I'm curious about your mechanics and producing a truly fixed habit that is actually valuable and which persists over periods longer than a year. Have you ever heard of Lion Kimbro's How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought you Think and if so, do you have any thoughts on it?

The title sounded interesting, so I followed the link and tried to read it.

(Ow, my head! It hurts...)

There are some very intriguing ideas in there, and also some very scary ones, and I haven't finished it yet, and I'm not sure I want to and... ow. Just, ow.

I think there should be some kind of warning on your link, but I'm not sure what it should warn about exactly.

Those are my thoughts on it, to the degree that I am still able to think at the moment. ;-)

How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought you Think

Crazy.
