I Want to Keep a Journal

I've been meaning to start a SW diary for a while now, where I could write everything I can't put on paper irl where somebody could find it and read it. However I wasn't doing much with my life, so I had nothing to write about.

In this log I want to track my daily acts of courage, things that I was afraid of doing, but have done it anyway. Hopefully it will help me build my confidence and just become a better version of myself.
The two concerns I have with this is: one I'm going to stop after 2 days and it will remain in the past as a failed experiment or two, I'm not going to learn anything and this will be just a romanticized waste of time.

Hm, I have an idea. In order to not stop after two days, I'm going to put an expiration date to it. Twenty days. Afterwards if I want to continue....hm this could create a different problem. The daily log in's could get me addicted to SW all over again and that's bad.
Might be playing with fire here, but I'll give myself another chance to prove self-control. It could either make it stronger, or destroy my whole system I've got going on so far.
Ok, I'll just keep away from the Q&A section whenever I log in to write a story. I could check the stories section, but not Q&A. At least not for as long as I log in to write in my journal.

Also, if by any chance any of you is reading this, you can write down below challenges for me to do and hopefully, if this exercise works as I envision it, you could read about it in a daily entrance at some point in the future.

I used to keep a journal for years, but I don't like people reading it so I threw it away and never did another one.馃憖

@Peaches why not burn it instead? Like at a camp fire. Read a page, rip it and throw it in the flame, then the next one, until u recap all your life.
