Consider modifying the habit -- maybe journaling at night is harder for you to maintain than in the morning, or around lunch, or something like that? (This was my experience - I tried journaling at night for years and repeatedly failed; now I journal in the morning, and it's been easy and pleasant. I don't know any special reason why this would work for you, but it's cheap to share the idea.)

It seems to me that journaling at other times of day would be less useful, because the day's events would be either less fresh in my mind.

Oh, agreed! Still, journaling in the morning has been rather more useful than failing to journal in the evening.
