How Creating Lists Can Help You Journal

[Greeting]

You know we are a big fan of journaling and all the ways it can benefit you and your life. 
But it can be challenging to stay motivated and know what to write about. This is where 
lists come in. You don’t have to feel pressured to “write your feelings” and instead are 
simply making lists. 

What you will notice is that just with simple lists, you start gaining more clarity and 
insight, and it makes it a lot easier to know what you want to journal about.


Lists Double as Writing Prompts

The first reason lists can help with your journaling routine is because they often become 
their own writing prompts. You are making a list of what you want to get done before the 
year is over, and suddenly from that list, you start thinking of various different topics you 
want to journal about. 


You Have a Place to Save Your Lists

It is also really helpful to write lists in your journal because you will most likely hold onto 
that journal, which means you are going to save your lists. If you have ever written lists 
on loose pieces of paper or sticky notes, you know that you tend to lose them or they 
quickly become very disorganized. 


They Provide You With More Clarity

You can also gain a lot more clarity and a new perspective on your life when you create 
lists in your journal. Writing down a bucket list in your journal not only shows you what 
you want to achieve, but it can show you what your priorities in life are, and what is no 
longer as important to you.
