It can surprise you, but I need to tell you that there is no one best way you can set up and organize your journal.
However, I experimented with different methods and formats for managing my writing through the years.
I came up with a few suggestions that will help you on your way too.
In the following part, I will show you some best practices to organize your journal for the most growth and positive life changes.
And now, I want to tell you about a few main principles of the ThinkGym Journaling Method regarding journal keeping.
It is essential to know these principles because they can offer you a simple mindset for journaling required for long-term success.
So here they are:
Your system.
The first principle is that you want to create your way of journaling.
This means you will figure out the best way to write your entries: how many sentences, how many times a day, how you split up your journal, how much to write, and what tools to use in the current moment.
You will understand what and how you want to write and organize your entries when you go through the training and implement different tools and exercises.
Journaling is the book you are writing, and you will feel the most pleasure when doing it your way.
So experiment and figure out what works best for you.
My main suggestion here is to habitually put the date, time, and location of your entries.
You can rush and skip doing that.
