Neat. I too have been logging for quite sometime now, the biggest cost initially for me was with Storage, but I’ve found some neat ways to handle the storage issues: 1) If you are on your desktop, create a private stream on YouTube using OBS—obviously helps you save diskspace while also helping you maintain privacy and providing unlimited storage as these are basically just youtube videos that are kept private. 2) If you own a tripod, you can record your sleep patterns and do the same by mounting your smartphone on it and hooking it up to your PC and streaming it to YouTube privately. 3) Obviously Go Pro is the best all-purpose recording device as Mati says, but I am not much of an underwater person, so I use my smartphone for everything, which I feel is the second best as you can use the YouTube’s go live feature to record yourself with private mode on.
Apart from that I would say, always carry a small pocket notebook and a pen incase your phone’s battery dies on you or something like that. Also write everyday, blog! (Not Twitter), because reconstructing the thought process from an elaborate medium is much much easier than Twitter. If it is you who is going to revisit it later, you don’t just want to sympathize, you want to empathize; and pithy sentences(280 chars) are bad for that. I’ve tried. I realized it after reading Montaigne’s Essays and a nice little book called the Diary of a Nobody by guy named George Grossmith. There is so much that can be extracted from that as opposed to Meditations where you can feel for Marcus but forget it so easily that you never get to ponder about what would Marcus be doing right now, which can be done with Montaigne or the other guy.
