How to use a journal? Part 2

by Brian on


In Part 1 we talked about what a jour­nal is and why it is impor­tant that you use one to glean infor­ma­tion that you got dur­ing the day.

Theodore Roo­sevelt said “The only man who makes no mis­takes is the man who never does any­thing. Do not be afraid of mis­takes pro­vid­ing you do not make the same mis­take twice.”

Now when you keep a jour­nal you can be wise like Roo­sevelt and avoid mak­ing the same mis­take twice. Many times we make mis­takes and we fail to learn from them. If we had kept a jour­nal we would have been able to learn from our past mistakes.

Another way for us to use a jour­nal is for when we are read­ing a book or lis­ten­ing to a moti­va­tional tape or hear­ing a speech or some­thing like that. I actu­ally have one of those 5 in 1 note­books from Paper­mate as a jour­nal. You can choose your own type of book for a jour­nal. I’ll just share how I use mine in this post.

I divided up my jour­nal into 5 dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories and when­ever I read or get some­thing per­tain­ing to that cat­e­gory I jot it in there. The 5 cat­e­gories I have are Moti­va­tional, Spir­i­tual, Health, Rela­tional, Ideas. I usu­ally try to fit in the things that I gather into one of these categories.

Many times we read a book and then for­get every­thing we read. This is why you should keep a jour­nal and record every­thing. I highly rec­om­mend you get a copy of Jim Rohn’s How to use a jour­nal.

Make sure that at least once a week you go through all that you learnt over the pre­vi­ous week and try to make it a habit to do this weekly. By doing this con­tin­u­ously you show the world that you are indeed a very seri­ous stu­dent and you really want to make a dif­fer­ence in your own life.

So what are you wait­ing on. Get out there and Start Journalling!!!
