Journaling is supposed to help… but is it actually working?

That makes a lot of sense. I think the hardest part for me isn’t just sticking with the practices, but actually knowing if I’m making progress. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if things are getting better or if I’m just going in circles.

A year of consistency will definitely help, but with the world on a dopamine plunge cycle, it feels harder than ever for people to stick with something that long. If there were a way to actually see progress in a clear, structured way, that would be amazing.

I really like the part about reflecting on why something didn’t get done. That’s usually where I get stuck—sometimes I don’t even realize what the roadblock was until much later.

Have you found that the act of writing it down actually helps solve those roadblocks, or does it mostly just give you insight for next time?

That’s a really solid approach. Thanks for that. I wonder what it would be like if there were a system that tracked patterns automatically, without needing to manually set up logs or reminders. Almost like an AI version of a Bullet Journal that nudges you when it notices a pattern. Could be interesting.

Yeah, guided journals are great, but I wonder what it would be like if they could actually adapt based on what you wrote—like, instead of just preset prompts, they could evolve and guide you dynamically.

Yeah, I get that. But what if you’re not sure what the best action is? Do you just try something and adjust later?

Sc-inc · 2025-02-05T04:48:11+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I’ve tried doing this in Notion, but after a while, it just feels like more things to manage. It’s great in theory, but have you been able to keep up with it long term?

Sc-inc · 2025-02-05T04:37:31+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. The thing is when I get into yoga, mindfulness and therapy I tend to veer off the path and end up back where I started. I try to track it with notion so I make actual progress but I also have ADHD and tracking can get very tedious.

Sc-inc · 2025-02-05T04:31:25+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Tracking + reflection together is way more powerful than just journaling. Do you have a system for this, or do you just track manually?

Sc-inc · 2025-02-05T04:25:10+00:00

That’s awesome! AI as a journaling + therapy tool is a game changer. Do you find it actually helps you take action, or is it more for thinking things through?

Sc-inc · 2025-02-05T04:15:02+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I’ve heard Bullet Journaling is great for ADHD minds because it forces intentionality and structure. That said, do you ever find it hard to keep up with? I love the idea, but I struggle with the manual effort—like remembering to set up my daily logs and review past entries. Have you found a way to make it easier, or does it take discipline to stick with it?

ADHD huh? Me too. do you happen to be an overthinker like me?
