I also have a template. I use TiddlyWiki as I can then quite easily retrieve the data that I'm storing in HTML. If this habit continues, I'll probably create a home server and make sure I can journal online.
My template is more focused on being a daily questionnaire rather than a journal, but it can do both. I've done 2 analyses so far, one qualitative (about what made me most relaxed) and one quantitative (my energy levels currently correlate for 0.66 with my happiness and my stress doesn't correlate with either of them).
However, now that I've read this blog post, I think that I should create a seperate place somewhere to write journal articles (probably just TiddlyWiki as well).
I always tried to use fields, but for some things I used a scratchpad tiddler called StoreDailyQuestionaireData. If I would use the same in those case, then I'd get rendering issues.
! My happiness levels are
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="1"> abysmal low</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="2"> very low</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="3"> low</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="4"> medium</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="5"> high</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="6"> very high</$radio>
<$radio field="q-happiness-levels" value="7"> extremely high</$radio>
