I like the idea of the todo’s going forward and the spiritual thoughts and blog thoughts from the back. I have so many notes, and ideas who knows where. tons of journal composition books that I keep thinking one day, I will go back and read them. I know there are nuggets all through them.
It has been a great way to manage the barrage of papers. I still have a mess of paperwork on my desk yet the journal thoughts are all in one place. I like putting the dates on a label on the spine so I can go back to certain seasons. It was how I regained what I was feeling during the tough caregiving times. Plus, the composition books are so cheap during school supply purchase time.
Thanks for stopping by, Mandy. Love you!

Helpful tips on how to start a journal! This is a goal of mine this year and it’s so difficult for me to prioritize it!
Jodie,
I think the key is to get something down and not be too perfectionistic about it. You’ve got this. Do a little every day! Blessings to you!

I agree with you on all these steps. I am instilling all of these in my life as well and it makes a great change in our attitude and moving forward thoughts to get things accomplished. Thanks for these thoughts and words! (Stopping by from InspireMeMonday)
Love that you are using these principles. The world needs your inspiration. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent advice, Karen! I, too, wrote in a composition during my caregiving journeys–each time I used them a little differently. Journaling was an excellent way to clear my mind of the chaos that cancer and mental illness cause!
Aren’t they great? I think the main thing is to get the words down in some format for later use. It does indeed clear the mind.
