It's great to hear journaling helps you reflect on actual passed time.

For me, I never get around to revisiting old entries regularly. How do you motivate yourself to do so?

I just lower the barrier enough that it's trivial. I'm at my terminal all day, and one bash command spits out X years ago +/- 3 days.

Right now, I'm really curious to see why I took a trip 10 years ago to my hometown - all I see in my journal is my packing list, so someday the journal entry for that trip will pop up.

That helps too.
