Daily journaling is a life changing practice that helps you think more clearly, stay calm, and focus on what matters in life. The fact that just a few minutes of writing each day can have such a big impact is one of the greatest uses of time I can think of.
Many people want to journal but struggle to stick with a daily or even weekly practice. It's understandable since we get stuck thinking a journal needs to be inspirational, pretty, or worthy of review. I found that if you get past all those hangups, sticking with a journal habit is much easier.
How to Journal Every Day for Increased Productivity, Clarity, and Mental Health • How to Journal Every Day for Increase... is one of my most popular videos. But if you think of it as the "Why" journaling matters, this video is the "How to" journal. In it I'll share 4 ways to start and stick with a journaling habit.
1. Daily prompts I'll email you 31 prompts here: http://dailyjournal.carrd.co
2. Logbook https://austinkleon.com/2010/01/31/lo...
3. Thoughts on https://sivers.org/dj
4. One line per day https://jamesclear.com/journalingone...
Bonus #5: Morning Pages by Julia Cameron https://juliacameronlive.com/basicto... I love this method too and should have included it. One drawback I've seen and heard from others is that it's very stream of consciousness oriented, and that can be intimidating. But once you get past it can be incredible.
