- A common problem for those new to journaling is this:
- They don’t know where to start or what to write.
- The issue often arises, I believe, from the need to open an app, decide where to write, and then face the question of what to write.
- I’d like to suggest something simple. I set up an Obsidian fleeting notes catcher on my iPhone’s custom command panel.
- This could also be used for journaling, and it might even serve better for such a task.
- Only then does the question of what to write come into play.
- The following three steps are more than sufficient:
- Note the time. In the script I mentioned for the command panel, this is done automatically.
- Write a few sentences about what you’ve just done or worked on, especially if it’s not finished yet. Use complete sentences rather than one- or two-word phrases!
- What lesson did I just deliver?
- How did the children receive it?
- Was it a success or failure, and why?
- What will I improve next time?
- Write down a few sentences about what you plan to do next.
- The most important idea to note is what the first thing you’re going to do is.
- How should I approach this first action? Is there only one way, or are there several? If there are many, remind yourself of the most obvious ones.
- In general, we can structure our journaling around the 5W+1H framework:
- Who, What, When, Where, Why, + How.
- The following three steps are more than sufficient:
