How often do you journal, and how detailed are your entries?

[jennifer_bloom]

I began journalling this year which is something I have not done since around 2025, and one thing I struggled with, is deciding how detailed I want to be, how much to write, and whether it was okey to exclude information to shorten the length of my journals and to make it easier to read and remember.

I mean I also have different categories, and categorical sections are non negotiable because my journals are so detailed.

I have a job category, a gaming category, and a hobby category, and I do not have a religion or diet or fitness or spending category because I do not want my journals to be 5 pages long.

You definitely dont need to write out every single detail for it to count focusing on specific categories like your job gaming and hobbies is a great way to keep it structured without turning it into a chore If leaving out diet or fitness helps you keep up with it consistently then skipping them is the right move there's no wrong way to do it as long as it works for you 😉

Never tried it, I'm not a very lucky person, so I'm really too depressed to write a journal about my life.
