I personally like to use a 3 ring binder with loose leaf paper. It's super cheap. Plus, I can just take a few sheets with me on trips or to work or anywhere so I don't have to take the whole thing with me, but I always have access to it when I have an idea. The binder resides in my room and I add that day's contributions to it and replace the paper in my backpack. You can get colorful plastic subject dividers in the back to school/office section, especially in late August when they're clearing it out for super cheap. I hope people find these ideas useful!

I started journaling in my teens. Now, in my 50's I still have a almost daily practice. I too, have a way of setting up my journal that includes a calendar and monthly planning in the front portion. I also number pages and make a index so I can easily find things later on. I was born to a heroin addicted mother, spent the first year of my life in a orphanage and then had a challenging, yet at times, beautiful adoptive family. I attribute my journaling practice to supporting me in becoming one of the few who make it through such adverse beginnings. I acknowledge that this habit is now my addiction... but its way better than any substance addiction! I have a beautiful, connected, loving and wise life. Thank you Clark for sharing your wisdom about journaling. Its a fabulous tool!

OMG this video notification came over my phone while I was looking at a booklet and knowing I need to start writing again! I love how guided I am!

I was getting overwhelmed with all the journals and sections, etc. It was more to "store" or have access to. I bought myself a tablet (digital). I created journals in a mote taking app. I went from carrying a thick planner and journal with me to carrying one digital tablet. I have access to my schedule, journals, notes, books, etc all at my finger tips when I want them. I am a paper & oen girl. This is as close as it gets. And I can change ink colors and copy/paste, etc. It's made my life and managing ADHD so much easier!

What healed me tremendously from trauma with my ex is journaling. I’ve went to therapy, but I feel like most are not trained sufficiently and writing everything down was better than speaking to someone about it.

I love setting my goals with quotes when starting a new journal and using the last page to reflect on what I’ve learned about myself from all the entries.

I do love all these new techniques that I’ve not heard before.

I enjoy this channel very much!!

[UltimateTechHub]

I love to journal. Great life changing skill! Thumbs up!

Been journaling for 50 years, so I have a little experience. Not sure it "changed my life", but it taught me some good things.

Several years ago I was inspired to do morning pages after I read “The Artists Way” Shortly after I was hired for a position I was seeking. What was funny was a few years into that job my colleague told me she also was doing morning pages before she was hired. There goes synchronicity! Thanks for the great video!💜

I giggled a little at "it's not a flex to have a lot of books on your shelf." I thought it was an amazing flex when you did those videos with the stacks and stacks of books 😁

[MotoFamLife]

I have been trying to get a better mindset and lifestyle, and just wanted to say thank you so much because your videos along with other things have been helping me with my journey.

[James-egxk]

You’ve no idea how much you help me with this channel. Each video seems to be what need at the time, pointing me in the right direction. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

I have been journaling since I was a kid so I love dumping my emotions, love life, struggles and tons of self reflection. This video it’s soo helpful to me, thank you for sharing the knowledge. I’m eager to apply the new methods since I have been looking for a way that I can stay consistent and authentic to myself thank you, Clark! 😊

[JassZen]

Looking great Clark. Thank you for this videos and all the others as well. Very grateful for you.

These videos on shadow work are phenomenal. I know most of what you are explaining but the extra details on the techniques will really help get more out of working with the shadow. I’ve been trying to help my brother with shadow work, but he looks at me like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Your videos reinforces what I’ve been trying to explain and show him. Thank you thank you for making these videos.

Clark I’ve been following you (and journaling for many years). About 5 years ago I reread some of my journals and noticed a negative pattern. I burned those journals and have since made some changes

[professordavid]

I enjoy listening to this guy as he journals his thoughts through this journey called life. But I enjoy journaling in my iPad Pro and haven’t looked back since. The paper-like sheet protector made it all the better for me. Different strokes for different folks, but journaling is always therapeutic.

[TheDailyConnoisseur]

This was a super helpful video for me, Clark. I like your 6 journals in one idea because I feel like I need an entire book for each way I journal but that's not necessarily the case. I'm going to try it! Thank you! ~ Jennifer
