I’m too paranoid to write a diary, even a handwritten one, and I’m literally a nobody.

It’s beyond me how these super important (and controversial) people keep diaries where they lay out their evil plots like a villain from Scooby Doo. And save it on a work computer.

Jounaling is a habit of most of the highly successful people I know (granted, that's a single-digit number, so TIFWIW).

Also a nobody and I feel this. See also: therapy, I'm sure I would/could benefit from it but I have zero trust that those records wouldn't be leaked/stolen/compelled in the future. Especially with the current US government, I wouldn't want a (more of a) record of "wrongthink" (whatever the window shifts to make that in the future).

They do it to keep track of the stories they have told different people.
