Today my deep work facilitator shared a journaling prompt that I really liked, it was simply: Rose, Thorn, Bud. The rose is a good thing you want to reflect on. The thorn is a tricky, niggly or painful thing you had to work through. And the bud is something good coming up that you are looking forward to. She suggested limiting it to the past and next 24 hours, so my rose was milkshakes with my marvellous bestie; the thorn was the horrible spike of anxiety I struggled through before bed; and my bud is my interesting training this afternoon #journalling
“Interstitial journaling” is the practice of making short journal entries between tasks. Sometimes I wonder if this is just a lot of busywork. However, for someone like me, the notes I make could help me get up to speed on my projects the next working day, especially if you deal with multiple projects or tickets at the same time.
What do you think about the practice?
Although I prefer journaling by hand, I have to admit that digital journaling is far more practical, safer and more secure, and I've been journaling so much more.
I will keep a #Hobonichi#planner / life book throughout 2024 and have been experimenting re my approach. Intending for a mix of keeping track of things to do in a week (list on Monday pages) and done (on Friday pages) as well as musings on days, books read etc. This could be digital but I like relaxing with a handwritten journal or planner #fountainPen in hand. It should also be a nice record at the end of the year. I’ll be using an A5 Hobonichi Cousin plus dedicated EF #TWSBI pen. #journalling
Writing my thoughts down as I start a potentially long process of something and writing "Whatever and whenever it happens, I'm still me :)" just felt nice, a reminder to myself that ultimately I'm still the same, I might just have some more answers to some things in my life
Got my 2nd #Hobonichi order today. This dark blue leather cover is soooooooooooo pretty! Plus, the leather smells soooooooooooo good! I want to use the cover NOW! 😍
Been #journalling more in my #bulletjournal lately. Not just lists of things to do, but actual thoughts. It's nice.
I've also been using my #FountainPens quite a bit lately. Been having fun seeing how the ink looks on the paper and watching it dry. Am I weird? I'm sure I am, but it doesn't matter because it makes me happy, so there we are. :)
Guten Morgen 🤗
Für eine Recherche suche ich Menschen, die regelmäßig Tagebuch schreiben (oder vergleichbares), entweder im Rahmen einer Psychotherapie oder auch selbstständig.
Falls sich jemand angesprochen fühlt: Meldet euch gerne per Direktnachricht oder über info@stefanie-uhrig.de bei mir! Danke schonmal. 🤩
I tend to discuss:
🎨 Any #craft or 🧶 #crochet project I'm entangled in
🥋 Goings on at #aikido
🐶 Happenings at #dogtraining that I volunteer at as a trainer
🦊 Lots and lots of #corgi spam
@liztai it's mostly writing, and it is low stakes and slow pace (by this I mean weeks!) And with not many moves over a few days. Players set the pace. If you can only move once a day, fair. If you can only move a few times a week, also fair!
