Editing Journaling and note-taking

{{Tool Infobox}}
When you want to write down thoughts instead of data. Main tool for [[Lifelogging]]. A type of [[Manual input]]. 

While journaling can be useful to put data into context, it is hard to quantify. Look up Semantic Analysis and maybe hashtags?

Notepads and the like. Rather hard to beat being ale to type on a full keyboard. Notepad++. Easily handles hundreds of thousands of lines. Setting up time stamps requires some work.

On a smart phone similar tools exist. I use Mysymptom's built in notes field instead of a proper notepad. [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]])

+When you want to write down thoughts instead of data. Main tool for [[Lifelogging]]. A type of [[Manual input]].
-'''Journaling or note taking''' is an approach that can be used in cases where you are interested in collecting qualitative data rather than quantitative data. It is a frequently used approach for [[Lifelogging]] and relies on [[manual input]] rather than automatic data collection. The research method is called Diary Studies.

-Journaling can be useful to put data into context, but due to the nature of the data collected, it is hard to quantify<ref>https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/NaturalLanguageProcessing.html</ref>. There are a few options to nevertheless convert this data into quantitative data: One option is to summarize each entry with a few keywords, which could become "tags" that can be counted and viewed over time. Such keywords could be automatically determined algorithmically by building an index of all words used and removing the ones too common in language,.

-An even more complex approach that tries to automate this process would be to determine the "[[Mood]]" of the entries using sentiment analysis.

-There are different approaches to engage in journaling or note taking:
-* [[Pen and paper]]: This very traditional approach is used by many presenters of [[:Category:Show and Tell|show and tell]] talks. Where wanted, the paper text can be converted to electronic using OCR.
+Apps specifically designed for this:
-* Digital handwriting:
-** Dedicated handwriting tablets such as the [[reMarkable]] are designed to convert hand-writing into digital notes.
-** Similarly, the Notes application for iPads also tries to perform handwriting recognition
-** Third-party tablet apps such as [[Nebo]] are designed for digital handwriting notetaking
-* Regular Word processing apps, allowing typing using a full keyboard.
-** Notepad++. Easily handles hundreds of thousands of lines. Time stamps require some setup.
-* Smartphone apps for typing notes:
