Even though I am failing miserably at this I have confidence that I can overcome it & actually write in my journal everyday.
I think I’ll start trying to write once a week & then work my way up to once a day.

How to write in my journal every day
It made me
Focused!
 "Slow going. It's still a process. But I'm more aware of the need to do it now."
How I did it: The daily reminders helped. When I opened my email and saw the reminder to myself to do it, I made a mental note that that was something I had to do today. And every evening, before bed, i made the effort to do it.

Liberating. 
How I did it: I'd carry it with me everywhere in my bag. While riding the bus, I'd take out and write my feelings or what was around me. Putting too much thought into it gets in the way. There's always something in your brain that can come out on paper. You don't have to write a best-seller or worry who'll read it. Ignore spelling, grammar and judgement; don't edit yourself because then you're too self-conscious. Just write whatever, even if it's nonse… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've been writing in my journal since 2002, but actually writing every day since 2005. Now it's become something I just HAVE to do, otherwise I can't sleep. It's about writing down how I've been feeling, what I've been thinking and what I think will happen in the future. And you'll never lose any memories, because you have is all written down in your journal. That's why I do it, so I'll never forget the little things.. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Bought myself a calendar with columns for all the family. Started to fill in the diffferent things we either had to do that day or the things we'd done. Sometimes I didn't get to filling in the spaces till a couple of days later by which time I had many blank spaces in which I couldn't remember what any of us had done. Gradually I schooled myself to fill in the calendar while waiting for the dinner to cook or waiting for the washing machi… Read how I did it…

Man, since I’ve been at college…almost two months…I’ve only written in my journal once.
That was the very first day.
Eh, this Isn’t going so well.

the plan...

I want to keep a journal and write in it everyday so that when I’m retired and have way too much free time I can read over it and revist past times in my life. In the journal I plan to write what i did on each day, how I felt about what happened, and any thoughts I had that seemed important at the time – even if they weren’t particularly relevant to anything, like having a song stuck in my head.
To accomplish this, I will add 5 minutes of journal writing time to my routine every morning and night. I will consider this goal to be achieved when I have written in my journal at least once a day for 30 days.

When I’m done this current one, then I’ll be done this goal. I have several differently-themed diaries and journals to write in also. Maybe I’ll incorporate them into this goal? We’ll see.

I had another goal to be more positive, but just writing in it was enough so I thought I’d trade goals.

I want to start writing an entry each night. To help me keep things in perspective. When I wasn’t in school last fall, I wrote several long, meaningful entries. But from this spring, I have two, and both are about how depressed I am. That doesn’t convey how I’ve actually felt this semester. I’d like to actually record my happiness with how my life is right now, and not just my worst moments.

Making a list of daily goals is helping me get A LOT done. It’s at least as useful as preparing a list before you go to the grocery store.

I already write in notebooks a lot, but I want to keep up with one SPECIFIC journal on a daily basis. This will be for goal-setting and recording my progress.
I’ll consider this goal complete when I’ve stuck with it for two months. The habit should be well ingrained by then. It will also give me time to see the results.
Start date: February 12th
End date: April 12th
