Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

I love journals/diaries--reading published ones and usually have one going. Sometimes I keep a 1-line a day journal, or a gratitude one, or a travel log. During the pandemic I kept one for a women's history archive. But here is my question--I've tried, and failed to keep a textile diary. Like knitting a few rows of some interesting material, or embroidering every day. Somehow I just can't get it to work. Any suggestions? I'd like to capture the flavor of each day in something other than words.

@mir123 Cut pictures out from a newspaper or magazine that might express your feelings or thoughts on a given day. Draw something [pen/marker/ paint/colored pencil]. Press a flower onto the page, tape down a knit or crochet swatch, or a square of embroidery. Glue down a tea bag envelope that has meaning to you. A fortune cookie message.

Do any of these trigger an "a-ha" idea to you?
