/hob/ - Hobbies

i have been doing so for two years maybe, lately i migrated to an online blog. previously i used obsidian, which all in all was better but i wanted to learn how to create a website from the ground up.
now i am kinda bummed out about not being able to write super personal stuff. maybe i will write regular thoughts offline, then share a toned down version online. the site is more like twitter, anyway. it is both my creative work and a place to share all other creations of mine.

oh, definitely. especially when you are bipolar and vent in your journal. but it is also a proof that a day happened. that those 24h werent lost just because your memory fails. it is also meditation and helps clear distraught thoughts.

Tried it several times in my life.
Never stuck to it.

Had interesting results when I kept a dream journal, mainly getting better at remembering my dreams and holding on to more details.
But even this wasn't enough for me to keep doing it consistently.

Thought maybe it was because I didn't like writing things down so tried making audio logs.
Did it like twice and never again.

Deep down, writing when I am likely the only one to see it feels utterly pointless to me.
I mainly/only write as a form of communicating ideas to others.
I don't really use it as a way of logging mundane memories. If something was memorable then I would remember it without needing to write it down.
If a memory fades then it's probably for the best that it faded.

Cringe tho it may be at times I have figured out some important stuff reading through my journal and analyzing it, stuff I would have missed

Your journaling experience may vary.

Jours are "days" in French so journalling literally refers to writing down how your days go. Writing down smart thoughts, ideas, and plans should not be in your journalling area of your book, you need a "planner", planning book for that.

I sometimes take notes of interesting thoughts I had during the day. I find this calming.

I've seen a lot of succubi's channels on youtube talking about journaling your daily life. So I cannot avoid seeing it as a feminine hobby now. But still it caught my attention, it seems a good therapy for me. Before I tried this and yes, it was fun but I have difficulties keeping things, it really might be a good thing for a wizard.

Yes I have an insane journaling process. I have a hotkey on my PC when I hit it pulls up an overlay with a text editor + todo list (I just use emacs for everything and the overlay is from hyprland). The journal entry automatically timestamps so I write as am doing stuff that day or do voice to text. After I submit it then takes the journal entry, uses an AI to analyze it and see if it is good to update one of a bunch of models I have. Each model is a text file tracking my life/goals in some way, so every journal entry it's considered if it alters the status of anything of the models tracking my life, or any of my goals. Through that some of my goals can request updates/more information if they don't understand something. After all that it adds a response to my journal. Every week I also set goals for the different days of the week and it's mindful of if I'm keeping them. I also keep a bunch of stats on my diet/nutrition/sleep and it's fun because I can ask it to analyze my journal entries and see what the 1 week impact of heavy drinking is and what helps to improve it over the past year or something, because it can identify those moments and then how it effects those models.
Making sure stuff that happens to me is factored in encourages me to keep up in my journal entry. It scores each aspect of my life for how it's doing and how much each journal entry impact each model. Since I started doing this back in January I have been writing way more in my journal and writing in it every day.I also have a ridiculous number of notes just for context on things like every place I've ever lived, every person I've known. A super in depth/detailed life history and other stuff. (These were used to build up those models and it can reference them or request additional subject based journal entries as well).

I can assure you succubi making their cute diaries is not done for the sake of journalling itself. Feminine succubi are known for "content making" and making a video over a 5$ diary/a 25$ moleskin/a ??$ virtual journal/a flurry of dollar store notebooks/a (great)grandma's collectible diary, unfinished, almost unused and now reused as a heritage item - that's not exactly journalling for the sake of journalling. So take it easy and toss that "effiminate" label.

Sometimes vomiting out all my worries and neurotic thoughts on a page helps with acute feelings of anxiety or stress. But frankly I am too lazy to do this on a regular basis. Gratitude journalling has helped me notice small good moments in my daily life but that too requires discipline and I've fallen off. There's this quote that goes something like "How can I know what I think if I don't bring it to paper" and I guess there's truth to that, thoughts (with the exception of thought loops or rumination) are often quick-lived.

Yes, I noticed that many of those succubi use these expensive diaries

succubi don't take journaling seriously. Real journaling is recommended by therapists, its been kept by many major historical figures, keeping one is mandatory for monks and religious people, who are often men. Lots and lots of writers, who are often male, keep multiple massive journals to record their ideas. Soilders keep journals to write about their experiences in battle. Priests keep journals to record their bible studies.

How is any of that feminine? Why would writing your insights be feminine?

But one thing I will say, have you noticed how succubi don't write anything personal or of value in their books? They spend so much money, I mean hundreds of dollars, yet fill it with crap? Absolutely nothing of substance. I think only that would be feminine. I've had the misfortune of encountering flip-throughs and they are some of the ugliest, most pointless crap I've ever seen.

Just buy a classic british journal, a fountain pen and go crazy. Don't think about it. That's what I do and I've come go enjoy it.

Go Buckminster Fuller and document every day of your life.
