I love buying journals. I love the thought of cracking open a new journal and using it for something amazing. Not everything I use them for is amazing, but it feels like it to me, and that’s what matters. I love writing, drawing, sketching brainstorming (just about anything) in them.
Due to this love and obsession, I tend to buy a lot of journals at one time. Which isn’t the best thing because I end up having tons of blank ones. So, I end up going on Pinterest a LOT, looking for new uses for my journals. I found a bunch of good ideas and even came up with some on my own.
Here’s a list of different uses for your journals!
1. Fitness/Weight Loss Tracker
It doesn't matter how much you did, just write it down and be proud of it!
2. Diary
Writing about the events of the day or venting about something that bothers you is so cathartic.
3. Writing
You could write the next great American novel! Or just some short stories and what not. Either would be great!!
4. Devotional Journal
Write down your thoughts from your time with God.
5. Sleep & Dream Log
Keep track of how long you slept last night! And the dream you had, so you can look back and see patterns and trends.
