Keeping a log of your daily comings and goings may seem a bit pointless in the moment, but it can be a very useful tool to look back on in the future, and it can be an invaluable treasure for future generations to read.
One of the benefits of journaling as a hobby is that it is something you can pick up and do anytime–whether you decide to do it daily or simply when the mood hits you, there are a lot of advantages to this activity. For example, it can:
Improve your ability to recall significant life events
Help you purge negative thoughts and feelings, because writing about them helps to examine and understand them better
Add some creativity in how you express yourself through the use of sketches, poems, or colors
Invite future generations to see life from your point of view
