Journaling Methods

Find a practice that works for you.

Different moments call for different kinds of writing. Try a method, keep what helps and change what does not.

Daily reflection

What happened, what mattered and what comes next.

Gratitude

Notice specific people, moments or details you appreciated.

Project journal

Track decisions, progress, obstacles and lessons.

Prompted writing

Use a thoughtful question to begin when the page feels blank.

Reading journal

Capture ideas, quotations in your own notes and questions from books.

Morning pages

Write freely to clear space and notice recurring thoughts.
