Why Journal daily?
Journaling is a powerful tool that can greatly improve mental health and overall well-being. By putting pen to paper or typing out thoughts, emotions, and experiences, journaling provides a safe space for self-expression and reflection. It allows individuals to gain clarity, release stress, and explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. Journaling promotes self-awareness, helping individuals identify patterns, triggers, and areas of growth. Moreover, it serves as a therapeutic outlet, offering an opportunity to process challenging emotions and find resolutions. Regular journaling cultivates mindfulness, reduces anxiety, and enhances problem-solving skills. It fosters self-compassion and self-acceptance, empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and understanding.

Why Journal in Notion?
Integrating your journal into a comprehensive Notion database alongside your to-do list and calendar can revolutionize your journaling practice. By centralizing these aspects of your life, you save time and streamline your daily routine. Instantly, you can see your tasks, scheduled events, and journaling entries without the need for multiple apps or platforms. This integration promotes consistency, making it easier to maintain the habit of journaling. Having your journal within reach at all times encourages spontaneous reflection, ensuring you capture important moments and thoughts promptly. Additionally, leveraging Notion's organization and search features allows for efficient retrieval of past entries, facilitating personal growth and self-reflection.

I started a journal back in april 2022
2023 was pretty good, although some days I missed it
but in 2024, I completely forgot about the journal 😭
here I am, 8 months later, making an effort to keep up with the journal :)

i love so much that an explanatory video has this tiny and not forced glimpses of humor, really funny and usefull!!

[alleycat]

this was EXACTLY what i needed!!! thank you so so much! for the longest time i'd been meaning to make notion more usable but the more 'aesthetic' and complex i made my layouts, the less practical they became, so lately i've been trying to create a very minimalistic single-page layout that covers everything important. thanks again!

[tocaxo_xo]

Saying you're a lifesaver is an underestimation. I really needed exactly what you explained. Thank you so much <3

[abrokemedstudent]

Dude I love you. You crack me up every time. Pleaaase never lose your humour. The tutorials are a huge plus tho.

10/10! I actually never thought of a to-do list and even a daily journal all inside a calendar view, it even sounded awkward to me at first, but now I've already implemented it into my system lol. I really appreciate this video, so helpful and funny at the same time! (And let's not forget it's less than 5 minutes long lol)

[okechukwuanudokem]

Like the concept of the channel to show people setup and make the process easier for other plz dont deviate really looking forward to future vids.

[anmolyoutube]

Simple, precise & to the point! Thanks a lot man!

Until now I used to have a Life wiki Page, and journal was one separate page, habits were another, timetables would be another. And yeah it worked but the resistance I had to surpass to use it was just dumb. Never thought of using a calendar like this before. I'm sure I'll come back to more Notion Setups David Goggins riveting content

[JustineAprilJ]

Clicked on this despite already having my own Notion journal system. I personally use a gallery view and have a nice little creative exercise of choosing a cover photo and coming up with a good title per journal entry. 😊 Also added an "On This Day" view; anyone can google the method if curious. This video made me think of doing a weekly/monthly/quarterly review, because when I try to do an annual review, I've forgotten everything that's happened throughout the year. 😂

[janaskulova]

It's fair to say I have learned nothing from this video. It was too entertaining. Thank you, that was a banger! 💛

[aayushik]

Thank you for making it simpler, easier, and most importantly beginner friendly💓

[Rhino]

I absolutely love your use of David Goggins.

[aaronsito]

[funygameur]

I'm already working on trying to get to understand notion by using it : trying to repliacate your templates, tweek the ones you've made but brother I lack a bigger frame vision ! Waiting patiently (or not) for your vision !
(whilst trying to create mine of course)

[ajareti]
