I have been doing a one-line-a-day journal for the past two years. If I ever feel like writing more I have a separate section for that, but I only ever tell myself to write the one line. It's the first time I have been able to consistently write in a journal for a very long time before I started. My entries are not nearly as "composed" as the examples here, though, just tiny highlights of what happened during the day…

I once made one photo out of my window every day for a year. "Project 266 days", I called it. That year (2016) had a few very foggy days, so all I was able to shot on those days was white. :D I guess writing a short journal everyday is a bit similar like this. Just forcing yourself into a routine of some sort. Just to get one thing surely checked off per day.

> every day for a year. "Project 266 days", I called it Okay, I have to ask an obvious question.

Journaling on paper causes loads of paper with private information you either need to carry when you move or dispose somehow securely. It's nice if you own your house and don't move but if you do it's a pain

Digitize and burn.
