This week hasn’t been great at work. I’ve been tired and pretty much done nothing. Need to find something to do, and probably go to bed earlier. Been tired for a while it seems. Trying to do too many things. Need to focus on one thing in the evening as I can’t do everything I want to. Got inspired to be more organised and do the things I’ve read and know I should do like journaling. However, then spent an age working out how I should journal and what medium. Should it be online, in a book, in an app.

Seemed to have spent past couple of weeks faffing about with wiki’s and websites. Think my main site is good. Now just need to figure out wiki/blog/journal setup.

Options/decisions to be made about journalling:

• Keep work and home separate or together?
  • If work is separate then I should use OneNote at work
  • Maybe my life journal includes both but I keep a more detailed work one on OneNote which includes specifics I’m doing, useful for PMP, driving others. Think I like the idea of that actually. Need to make a template and process to use ready for next year. Take laptop everywhere, etc. Let’s make a page for it.
• Online or offline journal?
• If online, then what app?
  • Dokuwiki - this is easy to configure and less faffing, wizzywig has some nice shortcuts. Can just git the whole folder and backup to private repo/pippi. Requires more resources to run…but it’s only me looking at it on VPS (for €3/yr). I’ve set this up now, so maybe just use it. I’ll transfer the other files from ikiwiki then shut it down. Was several hundred mb in files installed.
  • ikiwiki - blog built in how I want it. Markdown is nice. Nope. I’ve decided. Dokuwiki. It’s really nice looking. Wonder what it’s like to add entries on my phone.
  • Would like to make a book maybe?
• Do I incorporate Lorelai’s journal in here?
  • Not as easy to do from my phone.
  • Keep using DayOne?
  • Think separate is better atm. I’ll see how I get on with this journal then decide later.

Okay tomorrow I should setup how I’m going to work in OneNote at work. I should go to bed now and try and sleep more. That should stop me feeling so bad. It’s too late to go too deep into things now.
