In January, I mentioned that I had decided to try to keep a journal every night. As a commitment mechanism, I offered my girlfriend $5 for each night that she reminded me to keep a journal but I failed to do so.

Results are as follows:

*She has not reminded me once, resulting in $0 lost *Out of 117 days since I started, I kept a journal 102 days, consciously chose not to write anything 2 days and forgot 13 days *I have read very little of what I have written; while I did not explicitly mention that as a goal, I think keeping a journal would be a lot more useful to me if I did *I don't feel like I've made any particular insights while writing in my journal

Overall I would say I met my stated aim but not the real goal behind it. I think my next steps are: *Read through everything I've written so far; take notes *Schedule a regular time to read through recent entries and see if I learn anything useful that way

Any other suggestions?
