Same! I've been trying to journal since middle school and never stuck with it. Now I also use a google form to record life experiences, track certain goals like weight, exercise, learning goals, etc. and this is finally working for me. At some point I want to upgrade to something where I can add photos, location, etc. Each evening I get a calendar reminder to fill out the form, and I have a "quarterly review" style assessment to see if my goals should be modified, or my lifestyle changed to accomplish what I set out to. This method motivates me to accomplish much more over the course of the day than before I started journaling.

Great concept, but no mention of winter, or poor weather. Would be difficult to grocery shop or go far distances in snow or rain. Cities would have to be as compact as possible for public transport to reach everywhere, and that would be difficult to achieve in already existing cities with a lot of legacy infrastructure.
