I used Daylio to make daily entries, tagging activities that day and stuff like that.
I made it…2418 days in a row? Huh, wow.
I liked how it would figure out how different things like “rainy day”, “friend hangout”, “work”, or “a-hole encounter at work”, would impact your overall mood the day they occurred and the day after.
I would just kinda write a few paragraphs about the day before going to bed, add some pictures…
I have ADHD and a crappy memory for everyday things, so sometimes it was cool to go back and actually think about and process my day, and also look at entries of good days or bad days and see what I was thinking back then.
But I kinda dropped off…I got too busy and tired, I’d pass out before bothering with it, and…I didn’t really record things that were particularly insightful?
I also didn’t like the streak pressure. I’d catch myself making entries like “I don’t remember this day but I’m sure it was fine” like 4 entries in a row just to keep that streak going LOL.
But I am kinda proud I stuck with anything that long. Kinda like DuoLingo and other “positive” habit forming apps, I almost find more strength in choosing to let it go now, and try something else.
