I wish I liked Journaling. I tried bullet Journaling and I got about ten days in before dropping it. I got a new book today and I'm hesitant to even write in it, and ruin it. How do you format yours, as a normal private journal?

i did same thing it takes too much time for me i love playing with my pens tho.

I love journaling in the "I'm just going to write" way. Bullet journaling is not for me. And I haven't opened my planner since February. lol I just like writing out my thoughts and that usually takes many paragraphs.

I got one after my mom passed and I don’t write daily. I only write when I feel too much is held in or I can’t understand my anxiety.

Bullet journals didn't work for me either. i use a yearly planner for schedule stuff, and a separate blank notebook for random lists.

I made my own inlays for my planner.

I bullet journal, but not the way you're "supposed to" I dont have a key and I dont really do anything fancy. Mine is mostly just full of charts and lists. I want to get better about actual-thoughts journaling though.

Also using loose leaf grid paper totally changed the game for me because I can move pages around in whatever order I want them.

Mk Velinov : yeah that. That's why I got a planner with ring binding too. I need to put pages in/take them out/move them.
