How to view keeping a record of transactions

Looking back at my flomo records, searching with the keyword "blog," I can find some of my thought processes:

  1. I feel like my weekly reports are just keeping a daily log.

However, I really don't have much to write about. I feel that recording the events of each week is a good way, but long-term daily logging makes me a bit weary. Articles should have substance, at least convey a central theme. Simply presenting my life, posting a few photos with my watermark, and focusing more on images rather than the text itself seems to lose some of the original value of a blog.

  1. Why do we write blogs in the first place?

Most people who write blogs say they write for themselves, but who can truly achieve that? Readers' praise and search engine traffic are slowly changing our writing styles. Even if no one directly tells you, "I want to see this," we still write to satisfy the imagined needs of readers. It's important to stop losses in a timely manner, even if it means making a "decision against tradition."

  1. What motivates us to write blogs?

So I began to re-examine myself. What was my initial motivation for writing a blog? Using the 2P method, there should be two:

  • Continuously output valuable content
  • Record the little moments of my life, forming my own "snapshot"
  1. Complaints

After being in the circle for a long time, you start to feel that these people have issues.

To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed with the group of independent bloggers.

I don't like self-righteous communication.

One of the reasons for my lack of updates is that "daily log" is a relatively important reason. What did I do this week, what interesting things happened, and what photos did I take? It feels like this is the same routine every time, so what is the meaning of it all?

Of course, there is meaning. Our thoughts often jump around too much. Just like seeing a bare arm and immediately associating it with a series of things, seeing the term "daily log" also brings to mind some negative connotations, making it seem bad.

But I still want to ask, is it really like that? Is a daily log truly useless? How do you define a daily log?

Let's not delve into the original meaning of the term (I'm just too lazy to organize it), but related words often include: "tedious," "boring," "uninteresting," "lacking thought." These words can be considered necessary conditions for an article to be labeled as a "daily log," but note that they are not sufficient conditions.

Why do we fear daily logs? Essentially, it's the worry that what we write will be considered boring or balabala. As long as it's not boring, as long as there are readers (and I count as a reader), as long as readers find it interesting (which they do; I often discover that I have experienced such interesting life moments when I revisit), that's enough.

Legend has it that there was once a country where the people had very poor memories, often forgetting what happened just a second ago. So they came up with a method: they carried a pen with them at all times and kept writing things down.

You would find that people in this country had particularly interesting conversations; while speaking, they were constantly writing and occasionally checking what they had written.

You might feel sorry for them because our memories are strong enough to remember many important things in life.

But I would rather be one of those people from that country because I want to keep records and look back at my notes anytime.

Of course, this story is something I made up, haha.
