I have heard people say the unexamined life is one not as gratifying
There is an optimal middle ground
I agree self examining requires middle ground.
I made an Apple Watch App and then Shortcut[2] to record by voice how I spend my time and write it to my calendar. The goal was to make it so easy ([1] https://takeout.google.com/ [2] https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/66271d52e6174d1a8b61c48e700...

Breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping are also hallmarks of mass shooters and incels. I even hear they cloth themselves frequently.
In all seriousness; that is a really toxic take. I’m surprised to find it on HN, where I feel constructive criticism and thought-out comments are common.

#55Day One includes every feature requested by the author, including templates, scheduled notifications, and cross-device sync. I gladly pay the annual subscription. I have been journaling with it for almost ten years, when it was in some free app bundle.

#56Find a lot of people I know living what I tend to consider an overexamined life.
There’s certainly a public form of journaling that happens on social media that seems to start with good intentions but then descends into self-diagnosis. In terms of private journaling - well, it’s private, so hard to draw any general conclusions, but I tend to think that if you’re spending more than half an hour each day writing about yourself then you might have a problem.
You pass judgement pretty easily. Private journaling is not always "writing about yourself" in the narcissistic sense you seem to mean.
Plenty of people feel like their thoughts and ideas are worthwhile but can't keep track of them without writing them down. Some of them even pass the 30 minute cutoff doing so.

#57My spouse stopped journalling when we started dating. A partner can be the most effective way to work through emotions and ideas.

Yes, and addressing those problems is what I seek to accomplish by writing to myself about them. :)
Highly verbose and time consuming journaling has gotten me through divorce, major career changes, single parenthood, relocation, a new relationship and a bunch of other life changes. I usually journal only a few times a week, but in the thick of that stuff, I needed much more than a 30 minute window each day to check in with myself about where I was at and where I was trying to get to each day. Sometimes I spent hours. I took a year and a half away from it — which turned out to be by far one of the most impulsive and reckless periods of my life!

When my friends ask why I pay for my journaling software instead of a free option, I tell them $22 a year is a great price for my primary therapist. I found I wasn’t being completely open and honest when I was journaling on pen and paper because I was subconsciously concerned someone else would read it. A password protected journal works better for me.
curious, whats the software called.
Maybe https://dayoneapp.com/ which is popular on Apple platforms.
