How To Use a Journal? Part One

Ok I have a quick ques­tion to ask you. Do you use a jour­nal? Do you have one? Do you have some­thing that you go to reg­u­larly to learn from your past expe­ri­ences? So you are prob­a­bly ask­ing what am I talk­ing about and what exactly is a journal.

When I started lis­ten­ing to moti­va­tional speak­ers I kept hear­ing about writ­ing in a jour­nal and I kept won­der­ing what is a jour­nal and what exactly do you write in a jour­nal. Now every­one uses a jour­nal dif­fer­ently, so there is no right or wrong way to use a jour­nal but it is vitally impor­tant that you start to use a journal.

I bought myself a copy of Jim Rohn’s ‘How to use a Jour­nal’ and I highly rec­om­mend that you get your­self a copy of that cd because he goes into detail about what is a Jour­nal and how to use it. So what is the dif­fer­ence between a jour­nal and a diary?

Excel­lent ques­tion and I’m glad you asked. A diary is basi­cally a book where you write down what hap­pened dur­ing the day and it is just basi­cally a reminder of what you did that day and what hap­pened. A jour­nal on the other hand is where you write what you got from that day. A diary focuses on going through the day but a jour­nal focuses on get­ting from the day.

Here is one way you can use a jour­nal. At the end of each day before you go to sleep ask your­self what is it that you got from the day. What did your learn to do or not to do? You should have learnt at least 1 thing dur­ing the day. If you do this con­sis­tently for a year then  at the end of the year you will be a full of wis­dom to make it through the com­ing year.

My chal­lenge to you is to get a book and at the end of each day start to ask your­self ‘What did I get from today?’ Write it down and each week look back at your jour­nal and what you have learnt and let it be a source of inspi­ra­tion for you to keep learn­ing each day.

This is the end of part one. In part two I will share another way of using a journal.
