As someone who has kept various journals since I read Harriet the Spy as a child, I've got reading journals, writing journals, riding journals, music journals, fishing journals...and what I wish I'd kept up is my daily journal and my teaching journal. The dilemma then becomes dividing my time and attention between the experience itself and my record of it...

Journals are incredibly cool--My father has his grandfather's journals, and they make fascinating reading.
