my year in review: i don’t remember most of what happened this year because 1) not that much happened, 2) time isn’t real anymore, and 3) when i started using roam i stopped maintaining my workflowy journal which it turns out was an important part of my memory

this was a mistake, i restarted my workflowy journal this month, and not coincidentally my life appears to be moving again 🧐

this is what my workflowy journal looks like, it’s nested by year, month, day and i have daily notes and monthly summaries and reflections. it’s really cool to get to quickly and easily zoom in and out of different timescales of what was going on in my life

Are you deliberately trying to capture what happened so as to remember it later, or does that just happen naturally by journaling? If the former, does that ever feel stale/tedious?

i’m mostly trying to reflect on it but yeah it’s increasingly for memory. it does feel a bit stale sometimes, current month’s entries are very sparse but i think i can reconstruct from them
