I recently started doing daily journal entries each night before bed. I pretty much only recount what happened that day.

For those that journal, what else do you like to include besides the simple diary format?

Thanks for the reply but I was thinking more along the lines of

write goals

write annual plans

Don't really have any other examples hence my original post.

Your suggestion is good but I could always just search historical data and if that ability ever goes away then the data would be worthless anyways.

maybe pick one of those indexes or exchange rates just so you have a reference to the macro-setting of your daily entry but you are right about historical data online and that is why i stopped the journal entries

just for advice:

goals:' have children, save money, get out of metropolitan areas

annual plans: have children, save money, get out of metropolitan areas

the only help books i have got anything from were:

"how to make friends and influence people", tldr: no one ever thinks anything is their fault

"total money makeover", tldr: pay your debts off smallest to largest (illogical but psychologically beneficial) and spend less than you make (save)
