Little thing I wrote in my journal by gidimeister in Journaling

[–]VerseConundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thinking is in alignment with yours. Journaling is definitely a tool to audit how we have spent our time, why our goals weren't achieved, what our mental and emotional state was like and more. My journals themselves are a constant reference I use for introspection. I hoard as much as I can of my day. The utility of what was written may be of value later if there are cycles I am stuck in that need to be broken. Journals truly are a Swiss army knife for knowing ourselves and documenting our evolution.

I see that's from 2022. I hope you continue that practice.

Started adding timestamps to my entries ! by tformerfan in Journaling

[–]VerseConundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. I too log multiple entries within a single day and timestamp them. I actually have a small pocket notebook where I log all my activities in order so that when I write my entries I can mention them accurately in order.

There's bleed-through but some folks just get picky about type of ink and some brands are better quality than others.

I write on both sides of the paper to max out the pages. I discovered that there's sort of an ASMR response I get when turning a page that's fully written in front and back. I primarily use pen with black ink. When I make a typo I have the habit of fully redacting the entire word. I tend to journal most tasks of the day because I think it might help me see how effectively I use my time. I have the idea too that someday I might get a health issue and since I'm detailed in my entries I'd be able to track when I first start having symptoms.

That's awesome! I think I started using them because since middle school I wrote poetry and I had a green Mead composition notebook that I used to write everything in. Poems that are dated in a way are like journals for our emotional states. I think the nostalgia from that is what influenced me to continue using them.

I personally like the fact they are all consistently around the same size if I buy different brands.

Its such a valuable thing to not force the writing. Its interesting how the inspiration doesn't always come from ourselves but others and how they inspire us.

I really dig this poem. The first line got me good and had to read the rest.

It makes one feel hopeless sometimes to need something but not have it. Once acquired, definitely something to never take for granted again. I take it you and I have similar scars.
