I keep a different journal each so that it will be easier for me to look back and reflect later on. For example, Morning Pages Journal, Gratitude Journal, Planner etc
I have one journal only. & I log everything into that daily as well as different times of the day. This has really helped me to stay focused, I have tried writing a journal numerous times, so far I’ve kept it up for a couple of weeks
I keep one journal to contemplate, reflect and summarise my day. That I find works best for me. However you may be more suited to have 3 distinct categories of journals with contemplation, reflection and a summary journal. Start with one and see if you are comfortable writing it all in one place or that you prefer seperate journals for seperate functions🥰
I have a daily journal that I keep on my phone. When I am doing courses then I have a journal that I set aside for each course.
Different journals provides more help for particular issues, but one journal helps to concentrating on what matters, this is the reason why I choose one journal
I have one for just exercise and another for multipurpose. There is something about using a hard cover journal is something special
Hi there! I am insane about the journals. I have kept many types through the years. Right now I have finally gotten a bullet journal to take off after at least 4 attempts. I keep a second personal journal just for more diary entries morning, noon, or night. I also keep a “practice” journal which I use just to isolate thoughts on my beginning journey into more structured Buddhist practice. If I don’t keep multiple journals the ideas will bleed all over and the action will die. I am very ADD for real and it’s hard keeping up with them but I need the reflection in order to keep me engaged and moving forward. So at 3 journals simultaneously...then there’s the voice and video journals. Good lord .....
I keep several, but I use 2 main ones, with two 4x6 (for morning pages, to-do list). I keep a diary daily. It has one page for each date, but unlike many, it is not for a specific year, so I add the day of the week. This can be either what I did during the day, or whatever is on my mind. The other journal is for “normal” writing. Observations that are too detailed for one page, memories, ideas fleshed out, etc.
I have a "Self Care" journal, in which I record my mood, what I ate, how much I slept, exercise, etc. And I have a separate journal for free-writing and stream of consciousness. I like the mix of the structure with the Self Care prompts and the freedom to write whatever I feel like writing in the other.
Depends on what I’m doing. I have one journal where I answer a daily prompt and write in a diary like fashion if I want to. I also have another journal for randomness, one for spirituality, writing, and general knowledge. You can probably keep one journal with multiple different purposes as long as you find a layout that works for you.
