    I totally relate to this, journalling is a fundamental part of my morning routine and am super goal-oriented too! I think you'd love the diaries/journals/notepads from migoals - I found the brand at a market I visited at the end of last year and it has literally set up my life for the year. Makes it so much easier than otherwise to track habits, stay organised and focused on my goals. I gained a lot of value from one of your videos talking about how the most successful people take weeks off from life to cast vision for the year - I was inspired (and mentally needed) to try that out and found the guided sections of my diary (core values, purpose, success toolkit, 2019 reflection, life rating, 5 year plan, vision board and 5 major goals) all so helpful in structuring my sabbatical week! It definitely required a lot of mental energy, so I'm glad I had seen your video to encourage me to take that time off for it.

    In addition, I would recommend a brain dump Journal. I like to have this thing always next to me and whenever a thought crosses my mind - which is not related to the thing I'm currently doing - I'll just write it down and come back to it later as soon as the task is finished.

  • @finawatsonart
    @finawatsonart 4 роки тому +2

    Great video. I used to think of journaling as writing out longhand what had happened every day & have started and abandoned so many over the years. Your system of goals, setting up the month, the reviewing at the end of the month feels like a useful tool to combine with a diary / planner

  • @nitnelavspetorials
    @nitnelavspetorials 4 роки тому +2

    Thanks, bro. I really needed that confirmation. I have been against that idea for quite a few years, because of some random dude who said that I should not keep track of my progress, because I will ruin the fun of what I do or something like that (League of Legends video related anyways, I'm glad I've also quit it, probably the best decisions of my life). Unfortunately, I've made a principle out of it without realising why I do that... All I needed was hearing someone else saying that it's actually a good habbit to journal what we do, BECAUSE of x and y. I'm happy that I got to see this video, for real! The funny thing is that yesterday I also started to track my progress about me learning at a subject in university. I could say that this video was meant for me to see it, haha!

I find that with so much to do nowadays we need a place to put all those thoughts or they just get overwhelming. Thanks for the video

  • @StockInvestmentAnalysis
    @StockInvestmentAnalysis 4 роки тому +2

    Very interesting. I recommend journaling to a lot of people, but often because of how it allows them to organize and reflect on their thoughts and emotions, and then track how they change over time. It is funny how we don't process those things the same way when we merely think about them. Putting them on paper allows us to examine the information more objectively often.

    I wish you and Jo Franco would do a collab! She is currently doing a 60 day journaling challenge where she gives prompts and people write on it. She has done some finance videos too. As for me journaling was therapeutic from middle school until college. After college I stopped because I thought I was being childish. I threw away all my 6 journals that I accumulated from when I was 13-24. I'm starting to journal again...during this quarantine time it has helped me.

    "). However, I'm looking forward to experiment with some of your strategies, specifically the monthly and yearly goal setting/review.

    Most successful people write their long-term goals. This makes them aware of what they have to do and what they must not do. Also, this makes them focusing on their daily tasks and reducing the possibility of tripping in life. I think that the board vision is the first step in writing your goals because when you hang it in the place where you spend your most time at will give you huge energy and encourage you to reach your goals. Also, having a notebook for your thoughts and ideas is an amazing thing. During our daytime, hundreds of incredible thoughts come to our mind that when we give importance to them they will change our lives to better. But the big question is, how can I force my self to write my long-term goals and daily tasks?

    Definitely valuable tips here! I’ve been doing to-do lists daily and I found it to be really helpful and helps me feel organized. Though I haven’t truly been consistent with journaling. Making to-do lists seems to be easier for me for now! 😃

    I'm not sure writing in a journal is for me. Perhaps it depends on the type of journal, however. In other words, it depends what the journal is for be it for releasing emotions, record-keeping, keeping your goals on track, or your life more balanced. I have had moments when writing has helped, both to release my emotions in noting how I feel and by writing letters to multiple people in my lifetime - long, planned, well-thought-out letters. Typically, though, writing tends to just slow me down. Our minds move so quickly. Thoughts are interconnected. Think of one thing and it leads to five other related aspects of the topic and to other topics entirely. I do a vast amount of self-reflection. So much that I think I remember my emotions, thoughts, and particular mindsets of the time throughout my life without writing them down. I just think almost all of the time so I suppose that works for me. In this case, when it comes to writing in journals, I have come to believe it can work for a lot of people, but maybe not everyone. Which isn't a bad thing. I find "talking to myself," i.e. out loud, helps me understand how I'm feeling, for example. Brainstorming, goal-setting, and plans, though? I do believe writing those down is likely the better method.

    Not going to lie I didn’t care for a video about this topic. But ended up enjoying it! Question where do you put your journals? I am paranoid about someone peeping into it. I swear I want a mini safe

    I journal sometimes and write sticky notes almost every day with a checklist. I keep a few sticky notes but not everything. I really like recording and reflecting on things, but I also don't want my whole life to just be checking boxes or making fun things tasks
