Journaling helps you to organize your thinking, understand yourself better, and improve your life in every possible way.

How to build a journaling habit?

Here are some ideas to get you going:

  • Commit to a 7-day journaling challenge (you can do it, it's just one week)
  • Write only five minutes per day (you can also record your thoughts with voice journaling, but writing is more impactful)
  • Pair your new habit with your morning coffee, end-of-the-day ritual, or some other activity you already do.
  • Try some journaling frameworks, like the 1-1-1 method, to structure your journaling practice, or use the AI-powered infinite prompts feature to think deeper.

On the dashboard, there's a habit tracker that measures your total writing time as well as your current and longest streak. This helps you to see how much progress you have made.

Like every activity, journaling becomes better the more you do it. The famous investor and thinker Naval Ravikant said that journaling is meditation on paper. You feel the benefits of one session, but the real growth happens over time.
