This topic is definitely an interest of mine, I actually just bought a journal thats set up with a question every day for five years, so each year you can revisit how you answered the same question, on the same day. It’s an interesting exercise in benchmarking your life at different moments.

Many of these ideas speak to joy, and I’m kind of curious what would happen if you push some of these ideas towards the messier, less joyful parts of life. Do I abandon something like this when I’m not feeling so happy, or can this sort of thing encourage me to capture it, so that maybe I can look back on it with some perspective later?
