@binarydigit That’s great! 

We’re on a similar journey (I’m even writing a blog series about it) 

although I’ve always kept journalling on paper 🙂 I feel so much better if I don’t look at screens all the time.

@sylvia @binarydigit I’ve tried keeping a paper journal many times now. I’d really like to write in it regularly, but I still can’t seem to get into the habit. Perhaps you know of an effective way to do this?

@bstn @sylvia @binarydigit When I started journalling I just picked a time of day that I'm most likely to feel like doing it.  For me, that's last thing at night, just before bed.  I like that time too because it allows me to offload the days "woes" if I need to.  It's quite mentally cleansing.  :)

Really it's just a simple matter of choosing a rough time, then doing it every day (or as often as you want or are able to).  It doesn't take too long before it's a habit - a few weeks maybe.

@bstn @sylvia @binarydigit Also, if you find yourself struggling to fill a page, well that's what stickers are for!  😂
