Welcome to the world of journaling! Whether you’re looking for a way to organize your thoughts, track your goals, or just add a little creativity to your daily routine, journaling is a great way to get started. In this guide, we’ll share beginner tips and techniques, and show you how our products can help you get started.

Why Journaling?

Before we dive into the practical tips, let's first look at why journaling is such a great habit:

  • Stress Relief: Writing can help organize your thoughts and reduce stress.
  • Creativity: A journal is a great place to express your creativity with drawings, quotes, and more.
  • Setting goals: Writing down your goals helps you stay focused and motivated. You can read more about this in this blog.
  • Self-reflection: It provides a space to reflect on your experiences and learn from yourself

Journalling or journaling?

Are you thinking; hey, is it 'journaling' or 'journalling'? The variant with double 'l' is used almost as much, but the correct word is journaling. With 1 L.

How to Start Journaling?

  1. Choose the Right Journal. The first step is to choose a journal (journaling notebook) that suits you. At The Perfect Desk, we have a wide range of notebooks and bullet journals that are perfect for any style of journaling. Choose a size and design that appeals to you and that you enjoy writing in.
  2. Start Simple. You don’t have to start keeping elaborate journals right away. Start with simple daily notes. For example, write down three things you’re grateful for, or jot down a few sentences about your day.
  3. Use set questions. If you don’t know where to start, journal prompts can help. These are questions or statements that get you thinking. For example:
    1. What is the highlight of my day? And why?
    2. What did I learn today?
    3. What am I grateful for?
    4. What are my goals for the coming week?
  4. Create a Routine. Consistency is key. Try to journal at the same time every day, like first thing in the morning or before bed. It helps to make journaling a habit.
  5. Be Creative. Journaling doesn't have to be just writing. Add drawings, photos, stickers, and other decorations to make your journal (journaling book) personal and fun.
  6. Reflect Regularly. Take time to look back through your journal. This helps you see your progress, recognize patterns, and reflect on your experiences.
