Three Clear Uses For Journaling
- Katie Seaver identifies three distinct journaling uses: clarity, changing thoughts, and processing feelings.
- Treat these as different practices because each uses different journaling methods.
Don't Just Log Your Day
- Avoid journaling that merely logs your day because it rarely produces clarity or insight.
- Focus your writing on the problem you want to understand instead of a chronological diary.
Muck Around In The Issue
- Spend writing time 'mucking around' in the issue you want clarity on and explore feelings, fears, and desires.
- Use writing to list options, imagine next steps, and identify obstacles you can address.
