If you declare or profess (as I do) that one of your values in life is to "learn one new thing a day", one of the methods to ensure and keep track of that would be to write a blog a day. Or if some entries are not fit for publication and public perusal* - to consign your insights in your private journal.
I used to keep daily journals when I was young and I have a whole chest of scribblings - testament to my mental and intellectual growth. As I grew older and moved house quite a bit, I kind of gave up journal keeping, mistakenly rationalizing with myself that if I continue writing at such a prodigious rate, by the time I die, my heirs or executors would have to contend with so many journals to make such a bonfire as to put Guy Fawkes to shame.
In today's digital age, such an excuse cannot hold water anymore. So Heidi, write on.
