How journaling can change your life?





Journaling has taken me to the next step in my life. Basically, I was lazy and unorganized. I had so many plans but was never able to execute. And then one of my very good friends recommended me journaling. I took the recommendation seriously and started to incorporate journaling into my daily life. And you know what, my organizational skills and productivity jumped to its peak.

Journaling can help you in myriad ways. Keeping a daily journal is basically a self-care routine. First of all, a journal is not a diary, it is not a place where you record your day to day activities. Journal is something where you talk to yourself through words. I usually used to write down my problems and different perspectives with which I can solve the problem and then make a decision. Some of the important decisions of my life have been taken this way and it proved to be effortlessly effective.

You can also write down your plan to achieve a goal and put down an effective road map to follow. When you keep a journal of your mission and goals, you will be more productive towards achieving it. I had tried numerous times to workout daily, to make it a habit but I always failed to do so. By journaling my goals for working out, I finally made it a daily habit. Now working out has become something like brushing my teeth, it has become automatic. I feel healthy like never before.

Journaling can also uplift your organizational skills drastically. By including a to-do list to your daily journal, your productivity will scale up. Rather than randomly doing some tasks and wasting so much of time doing useless work, having a to-do list will direct you in the right path and will help you complete all your work in a given time.

There is no limit to what you can add to your journal. I am listing down some topics that I have in my journal

#Inspiring quotes




#Yearly calendar and events



#Monthly goals



#Weekly goals



#Daily to-do lists



#Gratitude log



#Things that make me happy



#Period tracker



#Savings tracker



#Consistency tracker



#Mood tracker



#Habit tracker



#Books to read



#Brain dump page



You can include whatever you feel like. But remember it is important to have a journal to have an effective way of life. I never feel that journaling is a task, I think it is fun. By journaling, I have gained total control of what is going on in my life. I know that I am the only person who can change my life and journaling has been a great tool for it. I recommend each one of you to take journaling seriously and have control over your life.

8 Steps to follow for setting a goal right

Do you know what you want in 5 years of time? Do you know where you will be in the next 10 years? You just can't tell you will be a millionaire within the next five years while having no concrete plan. The daily habits you build and the goals you achieve today will count to your success in the next 5 to 10 years. To achieve any form of success, you need goal setting. An effectively organized goal will take you where you want to go. Without a goal, you will not have focus and direction in your life. To accomplish your goals, however, you need to know how to set them. You can't simply say, "I want" and expect it to happen. Goal setting is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve and ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it. In between, there are some very well-defined steps that transcend the specifics of each goal. Knowing these steps will allow you to formulate goals that you can accomplish. 1. Your goal...
