How to keep a trading journal

I'm trying to keep track of a daily journal. I put in the reason why I purchased the trade, price paid, stop, and IBDS smart select ratings.

It doesnt seem to help. I feel stuck.

Is there a simple way to keep a journal or a simple format?
 
I have moved all moved all of my record keeping to Google.

The evening before I put screen shots of the previous day's activity and OHLC, news reports and any other notes into a Google "Writely" word processor document. http://docs.google.com/

At the end of the day I import trade information into Google spreadsheets. I also edit my daily document to create a daily recap of all trades.

I am also using google bookmarks and calendar.

My journal and records can be viewed from anywhere on windows or linux and from my wifi pda.

Put everything online....

Good trading!
