Personal Research: An experiment ; A new journey

As i've ventured into the journey of writing recently, I've noticed that I tend to struggle a ton with just writing consistently, thus, I've decided to try engaging myself and giving myself a "challenge" or an "experiment", and with that grow a bit a long the way:

I've decided to start this all off by building myself a series where I can just write what's going on with me, and over time, compile this into a monthly "report" where I reflect back afterwards to see how I'm feeling about it. I've decided to label it "personal research" and build a consistent format to which I'm going to keep, the format will look a bit like this:

< Time of Day & Date > < Current feeling on a generic scale out of X/10 >

< Short summary of recent Hours/Day/Moments>

<What could go better>

<What I'm working on>

(Yes, I know X/10 isn't perfect, but it'll do for now, I might switch it up in the future).

Yes, this is a lot like a journal, but I'm trying to take more of a research approach to it, and publicize my results over making this a journal where I put in great detail what I'm feeling.

Some small goals for the first 30-ish days:

* Write 20/30 days (4-5 on average for a week).
* Actually manage to fit my findings into a large scale article afterwards.
* Process what I actually write down.
* Tinker & change where necessary.
* See if this is something that can be done long term.

That's it pretty much, and if I don't write anything else before, hopefully I'll have the conclusion of round one of this experiment around a month from now: 11/6/19.

At some point I'll write up a bit more about myself, who I am, etc. but in the meantime, this is a start of a new journey for me, to anyone finding this in the future, welcome, this (might be) where this all started, if not, then this is a good thing for me to look at in the future.

Hopefully on to some good personal growth and some consistency in writing.
