Building a journaling habit

Most journaling habits fail in the second week. These are the things that help it stick.

Anchor it to something you already do

Journal right after an existing routine: the commute home, making tea, or getting into bed. A fixed anchor beats a fixed time.

Five minutes counts. A short conversation every day beats a long one every Sunday.

On a bad day, say “I don’t have much today”. dazie will keep it to one or two questions.

Read the week’s entries and its patterns. Seeing your own progress is what keeps most people going.
