The speaker discusses how the practice of writing and rereading digital diaries provides crucial self-reflection, revealing long-standing personal patterns.

And I feel like a lot of that has been born out of your practice of writing diaries. You are correct I started writing diaries as many young people do with like 10 or 12 And I think I found them really to be helpful strangely once I switched to doing them on the computer because my handwriting was so sloppy, specifically in the most interesting times when I'm doing really badly or doing really well, that I could never read it again. So it was never something that I could recheck, and I found the rechecking super interesting because sometimes there is a situation where I wanted to change something in my life eight years ago and I still haven't changed it. And I'm like, wow, I already wanted to do something about this eight years ago and I'm still suffering on this particular issue.
