Will anyone try this? For those of you who ignore this, instead, please leave a comment telling me why. Is that the rational thing to do?

I am ignoring it because I do not recognise your username, the url did not seem very high status and neither did your comment credibly signal the quality. My prior was low because the internet is full of useless self-help.

What I was looking for.

I clicked through, glanced at the basic idea, thought, "I'm pretty happy already. I think there were around 2 days in the last 100 when I wasn't happy, and that's a pretty good rate, and what made me unhappy then was something this random internet self-help wouldn't have fixed." So I stopped.

  • the font is obnoxious
  • I've already tried gratitude journaling, and don't expect this to be hugely different
  • seems like other-optimizing

I will not do this because I do not want to use my social media accounts in this way, but if gratitude journals work this probably would too.

Sure, but taking pictures of things is a lot easier.

Beware trivial inconveniences.
