Who Keeps a Daily Journal?

[SemiSentient]

I started keeping a journal a few months ago to document my ups, downs, and lessons learned during daily life. I started it about the same time I started my fastlane project thinking I could look back in the future and recall some of the things I learned. Now the more I think about it, I doubt in a few years time I will dust off hundreds of old diary entries to find a few good tidbits.

Other than enjoying leisurely writing, I do like a few other things about maintaining a journal. Writing down my activities gives me a sense of closure at days end and sometimes a feeling of accomplishment.

I am curious if anyone has found keeping a journal useful (for fastlane or personal life) and if so, why?

Thanks
