# Building a journaling habit

> Practical ways to make voice journaling with dazie stick, from picking a time to keeping conversations short.

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.

## Keep it short

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

## Lower the bar on bad days

On a bad day, say *"I don't have much today"*. dazie will keep it to one or two questions.

## Look back once a week

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