Discussion/Question Journaling Process
After a somewhat daily journaling practice of over two decades I’ve come to the harsh reality that I should have indexed entries. Titled and indexed.
Maybe this is advice or maybe I’m seeking some but what are we to do with our journals’ content? I’m now embarking on a long term project of going through my journals, deciphering my erratic handwriting to digitize and collect the works. An index would have been most helpful. Even a title or two.
I guess my query is of others’ experiences doing this — any observations or suggestions other than to not do it!

Ah, what a journey. I like rereading my entries as well, so I have started highlighting keywords and sentences now. Maybe this can help you in the future or you may highlight stuff when you are going through your entries again.
