I keep a journal of my dreams: it is kind of therapeutic for me. Too personal to post a pic of it though.

i write my thoughts in a regular notebook, but i also have a collage book

>>14253979
also, a reader's journal where i scribble sometimes and keep a list

>>14253870
Here is my “second brain” journal or planner. Keeps me from being degenerate and unproductive. This is from the previous two weeks.

>>14253987
Nice drawings

Why not use a planner notebook

I always wanted to keep a journal of random thoughts but everytime I try to start, I cant do it. It always feels cringe to me, and I cant think of what to write and I'm nervous about someone finding it

I occasionally write down dialogues with my imaginary waifu, does that count

>>14253870
I keep a journal as well as a pocketbook to track some thoughts that come and go that could mean something at some point. I'm pretty sure I'm insane which is why it's filled with conversations I have with myself.

>>14254027
Because I have multiple pages that are notes from meetings, ideas for books, references for phone numbers and contacts, pages dedicated to books that I’ve read, lists of books I want, records of dates, etc.

>>14254074
Post them please

>>14254060
Just don’t toss the notebook and get back on the horse as you please.

>>14254282
don't respond to me ever again, schizo

>>14253979
based. i've been thinking of taking up scrapbooking

>>14254287
It’s nothing to be ashamed of dude just don’t let yourself be ocd about it. Don’t be a slave to the notebook, let it be a tool for you.

>>14253870
My journal is way too personal. Any excerpt would reveal way too much information.

I use my journal to write down the discussions I have with myself. I started wanting to write down things that happened during the day but that got too tedious.

>>14254409
I'm sorry I misunderstood your post

>>14254450
Oh, I can see how that happened. A well placed comma would have helped.

I got started journaling/notebooking whatever in that manner. If I felt the need, I would use the notebook. Weeks could pass between usages. Now, partially because I am much busier, I use it daily- and multiple times a day at that. I really do think of it as a “second brain” that keeps track of things so that I am free to focus on immediate matters.

very nice anon, i also have a collage book but mine is garbage

My last diary entry transcribed because my handwriting is too mysterious for plebs:
Things to do:
Get dog
Get some flypaper
Find my sword
New sneakers
Tobasco
Cat trainer

>>14254967
And today's entry had no words

>>14254967
did you get the dog? found the sword? also, what the heck is a cat trainer?

>>14254972
>>14254967
These are great

No words needed. That picture is worth a thousand, anon.

>>14254981
I did everything except the cat trainer. The sword was behind my couch because j was watching pitch perfect 3 and got paranoid about home invasion. A cat trainer teaches your cat tricks. I thought it would be a cool gift for my brother who got a cat

>>14253979
Any tips on starting this? What’s your method? Is there one? Any type of notebook work better than the rest? This looks neat.

>>14253979
Scrapbooking. You're fucking scrapbooking.

I tried keeping one but then reread everything and it was cringy and pathetic so I stopped. I do still keep a dream journal

>>14255007
i feel dumb now for asking what a cat trainer is lol, it's not so common where i live so i thought it was behavior training or something. I used to get really paranoid when i was home alone as a child so i carried a big ass knife around but a sword is much cooler

>>14255152
Which is perfectly okay anon.

>>14255152
what a lame-o

>>14254091
damn nigguh this is some trite shiyut

>>14255196
For 80 year old women, yes. It's perfectly fine.

>>14253979
High levels of based

>>14253979
holy fuck lmao

>>14253979
in Russia scrapbooks scrap you

>>14253870
I keep a 270 page rambling pseudonovel which might be interpreted as a journal, but in reality it’s just schizobabble which I’ve vowed to never publish or show to anybody since it would defeat the purpose of the book and since it goes into very detailed explanations on how to efficiently commit suicide for 2 pages while calling people who use inefficient methods of suicide or people who fail to kill themselves despite claiming to have tried to commit suicide “stupid fucking emotionally abusive parasites who don’t do their research, deriving satisfaction from the pity of others”

>>14257025
So. Fucking. EDGY!

Nice drawings. I have a regular journal I just use to write in, be it little fictional texts, accounts on my day and feelings, or lists. I want to start a travel journal in which I combine writing and drawing, perhaps pictures too. I'm not very good at drawing but willing to learn.
