Every day, we read an article or watch a video from which we learn something. And we want to remember it so we can apply it in our life. But nine out of ten, we forget about it in just a few days.
Writing down what you learned that day saves your learning in the long-term memory of your journal, and ultimately in your mind.
I adopted this method a month ago, and since then, I have been continuously writingĀ my learnings,Ā two or three times per week.
Simply, give a heading āWhat I learned Todayā and underneath that, write the thing you learned that day.

Morning Pages are three paragraphs of writing ideally done first thing in the morning.
This means, start your day by writing three paragraphs of stream-of-consciousness writing, without worrying about any grammar rules.
This method of journaling was given by Julia Cameron in his bookĀ The Artistās Way.
Now, every entry of my journal starts with Morning Pages. I write whatās on my mind that morning. Now, I donāt stare at a blank page anymore.
Writing a full article is hard. But writing just three paraphs is not hard, especially when it isnāt about something specific.

I know it feels weird writing your dreams, especially the creepy ones that you donāt want to remember. But I have observed that by writing down my dreams, I can see a pattern in my thinking. Because dreams are said to be the result of whatās going on in your subconscious mind.

Whenever you feel discontent with life, writing down the three things you are grateful for can help you realize āyou are blessed with so many things that you take for grantedā.
\When writing a gratitude journal, donāt just list the names of things. Instead write down the reasons why you are grateful, for that specific thing.
Like just writing āI am grateful for my laptopā is not going to make you grateful for your laptop. Itās better to write āI am grateful for my laptop which has helped me write articles, which other people read and learn from themā.
