It's a word that has a very specific radiological meaning to me. Haven't heard it outside a medical IT scenario, personally.

ME TOO! Worse than ‘playdate’ and all verbified nouns.

Oooh, close call with the verbified nouns - I think "journalling" would still be worse for me.

<shivver>

I had a good natured conversation about this word not long ago in which someone suggested that a dislike for "journalling" is why they chose to use "diarying" instead 😬

Do we not wish to use complete sentences anymore in this fast paced modern life?
“I shall sit for a bit in this pleasant nook and chronicle my daily thoughts and concerns in this handsome, artistically decorated journal for posterity.”
Vs.
“Yo, journaled.”

It's worse than that really, because it's dressed up in that horrible, fluffy wellness language.
"I'm taking a moment to reconnect and be present by diarying" 🤮

I just went to a place that offered for $225, a one hour guided forest bathing experience with a trained practitioner. I looked into the training, $3000 for a six month ONLINE course.

Make this make sense.

I blame Paltrow.

I blame capitalism and desperate people searching for meaning wherever they can find it and grifters out for a whatever they can snag.
But yes, she has a lot to answer for.

There was definitely a lot of it about before she came along but she made it painfully middle class aspirational, rather than a semi-fringe, almost hippy thing. People will listen to any old crap (and accept paying absurd amounts of money for it) if a rich, pretty, thin person tells you it's cool.
Capitalism is the root of all evil, including this shite.
