Gretchen at The Happiness Project has a nice little idea to keep a journal of one sentence entries. She allows some flexibility to include the occasional two or three sentence entry and skip a the odd day, but the system is there.
Why do this?
My hope is that, years from now, when I’m trying to remember what life was like at this point, I can look back at my one-sentence journal.
The effort involved with keeping a regular journal can be daunting for some people, such as Gretchen, when you really just want to capture what was going on in your life at that time.
Short and sweet and to the point, you are forced to only write the most important things and how you actually felt over the entire day.
There’s an obvious interest in this sort of journaling with popularity of Twitter and Jaiku. Maybe try updating these only once a day. Keeping a personal book does have more charm and, probably, longevity.
Why I started keeping a daily “one-sentence journal” (ok, a not-quite daily journal). – [HappinessProject]
I use the journal function of my calendar/pim software.
I can look back over 10 years ago now and see where I was and what I was doing.
i usually make use of my journal once in a while. there are skips and not everything is always written. now, i am thinking of doing this one-sentence-journaling thingy.

A great journal for this is the “10+ journal” There is a four-line space for a journal entry for each day of the year. Each day has its own page, so you can see what you were doing on January 1st for the past 11 years all on one page. It only takes a couple of minutes to write the entry, but if you have more to say on any given day, there are carryover pages. I have given this journal as a baby present several times. http://www.journal10.com/ I have no connection with this company, just a satisfied customer. Great product for the one-line journal concept!
I am up to journal thing from now on. It is more interactive than I thought. So I will give it a try..
Excited to read this about writing
a 1-line journal. Now I feel better
that other people have tried to write long journals and stopped too.
Also,like the comment above about the

What a simple and neat idea!
Vocabularies, attention spans and journal entries have an obvious correlation.
