I want to take daily notes to keep track of my tasks, achievements, thoughts and appointments.

The problem is that every time I start journaling, I'm initially very motivated.

However, after one or two months, I get bored with the app or system and either switch to another one or completely abandon it.

I appreciate any advice or insights.

I just listened to an old episode of the Slowdown, a poetry podcast. I'll link it. The host, before they even get to the poem, always does a little monologue, and in this episode, she talks about her journaling habits. I also struggle with keeping a daily log, I always feel like I'm not "doing it right" or like it sounds dumb or ingenuine when I read it later, but she described her way, and I'm gonna try it. You might like it too!

I'm posting this for the host's discussion pre-poem, but the poem is great too!

Have a delicious day and good luck journaling xoxo
