There is something about using a hard cover journal is something special <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Margie B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">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 \u201cpractice\u201d journal which I use just to isolate thoughts on my beginning journey into more structured Buddhist practice. If I don\u2019t keep multiple journals the ideas will bleed all over and the action will die. I am very ADD for real and it\u2019s hard keeping up with them but I need the reflection in order to keep me engaged and moving forward. So at 3 journals simultaneously&#8230;then there\u2019s the voice and video journals. Good lord &#8230;..<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ricardo R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I keep several, but I use 2 main ones, with two 4&#215;6 (for morning pages, to-do list).<br \/>\nI 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 \u201cnormal\u201d writing.  Observations that are too detailed for one page, memories, ideas fleshed out, etc.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Theo Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have a &#8220;Self Care&#8221; 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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sander W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">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\ud83e\udd70<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Benjamin E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Liva G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">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 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kenzi O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends on what I\u2019m 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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie T.
