I have journalled all of my life: everthing from the ol’ lock and key diary in grade school to keeping a travel journal, a reading journal, and a record of all events that have occurred in my son’s life prior his birth and currently. My love for journalling has resulted in fulfilling my life’s dream…a published book. My young adult novel, Abby, is hopefully the first of three novels written in journal format.

I recently started doing a journal in my Treo every night, I realized how easy it was and how hard it was when I used to do so on paper.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the idea of a physical journal and it can be intimidating, it was for me.

I think with a little creativity almost any social media can become a journal: private youtube video blogs, a twitter acct, or a blog (of course)

Great post! It has convinced me to write in my journal again but I usually find that I lose inspiration to continue writing after a week or two and then completely stop. But now I see the many benefits of having a journal so perhaps I’ll keep it up this time! You should consider creating a http://bit.ly/4bybHr poll to get your reader’s opinions. They’re useful and fun for voting! :)

Kaizan,
Emotional ventilation… I haven’t applied that but that’s interesting.

Steve,

We need to be able to have stats that track our benchmarks toward our most important goals. That’s the quantitative part of measurement.

Lately I’ve been thinking and experimenting with a quantitative approach myself. I might write a post about that someday.

Paul,
I don’t aim to write in my journal daily since I only write things that are worth writing about. But – thanks to the habit of being observant – I have something to write almost every day.

Amity,
That’s a nice tip. I’m sure many people will love journaling that way.

Lee Ann,
I agree with you. It reminds me of GTD’s “mind like water” concept.

Donald, great synopsis and thoughts. I’d add one more and that is writing in a journal allows your brain to be “dumped” and free from trying to remember it all. It releases a lot of the chatter going in your head trying to keep track of bits of information. I like to tell my clients, “dump your brain”, whether in a journal, notepad or electronic method, just get it written down. Thanks for your list.
