I would be interested to know whether people on this forum have a journaling habit and if so, how they execute it. Indeed, many people out there preach about journaling being a key habit for personal development, idea creation and keeping your head straight. I couldn't find any thread on this topic although I could see many people talk about the habit in separate threads (positively or negatively).
So:
My way:
So:
- At what frequency do you journal ? Daily, weekly, monthly or from time to time, when the need arises ?
- How do you journal ? Pen and paper, audio, digital (computer/phone), any combination ?
- Do you write about your day / business/KPIs focused / gratitude / ...? Any specific template you follow ?
- Have you felt a change, a benefit out of this activity ? Perhaps it helps you to focus, to structure your thoughts, increase self-confidence or perhaps it helps you to improve your writing (or speaking) skills ?
My way:
- I used to journal every day but it is getting less and less. It bothers me. I now mainly journal when the need arises, i.e. my thoughts are too loud or confused.
- I am a pen and paper person, could never get used to the digital kind of journaling (I feel my screen time is long enough already and didn't like the dependency to technology in the past). That being said, I am currently testing the audio journaling and I kind of enjoy it. Good that it does not bother people nowadays if you talk to yourself in the street If I continue this route, I will need to develop a solution on how to merge audio & pen and paper... I love physical notebooks too much not to use them anymore.
- I talk about my days and thoughts but write about goals in my private life and work related KPIs.
- I feel lighter and remember things better when I journal then when I don't. Besides, it is kind of a measurement stick created for the future. If I ramble too much about one topic (wanting to take something up, change my relationship with somebody,...) I cannot lie to myself about the issue or how much time it takes away..
