Keep a journal (read all 9 entries…)
Crucial point. 2 years ago

It is as it ever was. I start keeping a journal, then I start getting busy, then I don’t set aside time for my journal, then I stop keeping it. Hopefully, using 43T, it will be different this time.

The thing is … it’s your journal. Write in it as often or as little as you like. Give yourself permission to let it go. It’s totally okay. There is no possible way to fail. Write once an hour or once a year, that’s your choice. There are no rules, except your own.

All best!

Regular

But if my choice is to keep a journal as a tool, then my choice is to write regularly, is it not?

Well, I think were getting into semantics here. Of course it’s your choice. But realizing our choices depend on our own perceptions. And our own idea of how often you have to write to make it ‘regularly’. My point was there are no real rules. And not to place so much pressure on yourself as to render the ‘tool’ useless. It’s your journal, your ‘tool’. Use it as you see fit. : )

Best.

Hipster PDA?

Well, depending on the kind of journal you want, could a hipster PDA be the way to go?

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definately going to, and take notes when they appear in my head rather than when I get around to typing it in somwhere, or find my diary at home or whatever (I don’t even have a diary, knowing that I wouldn’t get to writing in it.)

On the go/on the slow

Thanks for the tip! (I almost said I don’t want to use an electronic device!) But I want writing the journal to be a process of reflection, so I feel there should a time set aside for it.
