five-minute-journal

npm i five-minute-journal -g

Why?

I'm a developer and I'm always in terminal anyway, love the interface for note taking. Plus now I already have my data digitized and I don't need to do any notebook transcribing!

How?

The journal should be filled out in two chunks, in the morning and at night. So I wrote it so that if the file does not exist for that day it will prompt you with the day questions, and if it does it will prompt you with the night questions.

Generates a file 2017-01-22-five-minute-journal.json in the current working directory.
