As treatment for my depression my psychologist asked me to keep a journal. I’ve done this, and it did help. Now I would like to keep on doing it, even though my depression has lifted a lot.

In particular, I want to write about my emotions so that I can really learn to be myself.

I also use the journal to tackle my procrastination. Just like I did when I was in therapy, every day I write the numbers 1 to 6 in the margin, and next to it I write down things I must do. I aim for a minimum of three, but it doesn’t really matter; some days just doesn’t have things to do. At the end of the day, or the next day, I write what had happened below the to-do list.
