Quotes:

  • “A window into who you are now, and who you were then”
  • “Tracking your activities for the day...capturing a point in time...you can go back to it at anytime and notice a lot of things”
  • “...having the opportunity to learn and reflect on the process...the process of capturing something, recording it, and saving it in some form.”
  • “You can reconnect with journaling at any point…”
  • “Allows a lot of individuality … choosing what works for you … a bullet journal has different compartments … how you’re feeling… the appointments you have during the day … a little place to sketch … all in one place…”
  • “...pick what feels right for you… there is no right or wrong answer …”
  • “...just start writing… how you’re feeling right now or you have something pointed that you’d like to focus on … it could just be recording something … just get started…”
