Organizing the Front and Back Cover of Your Journal

Now let's talk about the essential assets of your journal: the front and back cover. 

These two journal parts are always the easiest to access. 

You can leverage them and write them some critical stuff. 

Before going further, I need to make a revelation here that I do most of my writing in a journal using a pencil, not a pen. 

Specifically, I use Pilot Super Grip pencils with replaceable leads and 0.7 thickness. 

I first started doing this because I wanted something that had a permanent thickness of lines and style. 

It is also convenient to erase what you wrote or correct it. 

And using a pencil is especially useful for the front and back cover because you can change some things there during the lifetime of a journal. 

But again, it is your journal, so feel free to use whatever pens you like. 

Let's start from the back side of a journal. 

I usually write some wise quotes or facts I like the most.

Something that makes me think about life differently or motivates me to grow. 

For example, here are some of the quotes: 

• "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones," ― said Confucius. 
• Believe in yourself, and you will be unstoppable.
• Change: "When things happen, I'll be happy" to "When I'm happy, things will happen for me."

You can intentionally keep a few last pages for the quotes or insights you will collect while keeping your journal.
