#microjournaling

[bonesandpoemsandflowers]

what if instead of using my existing distraction free typing experience product (alphasmart neo) to finish an update in time for Valentine's Day, instead I used my distraction machine (thinkpad whatever with wifi on) to investigate distraction free typing devices for purchase (microjournal rev.5, remarkable tablet with type folio, zerowriter) and finished writing fuck all?

this is exciting! i’ve been slowly gathering materials to build this for the past couple months and was gonna try to figure out how to put it together myself, but it looks like the creator has released an in-depth build guide with all the steps.

Podcast #861: 7 Journaling Techniques That Can Change Your Life

In my twenties and early thirties, I was a regular journaler. Several years ago, however, I stopped journaling almost entirely because I wasn’t getting anything out of it anymore. But my guest has helped me see that my problem wasn’t with journaling itself, but that I had gotten into a journaling rut, and he’s introduced me to some new ways to journal that have inspired me to get back into the practice.    Campbell Walker is an illustrator, animator, podcaster, and YouTuber, as well as the author of Your Head is a Houseboat: A Chaotic Guide to Mental Clarity. Today on the show, Cam shares how journaling transformed his life and what it can do for yours. We discuss why it’s helpful to do a journaling brain dump and how to then move beyond that to incorporate different techniques that will help you get greater insight into the problems you’re facing and how to solve them. We unpack those techniques, which include how to journal to break mindset, conduct a lifestyle and habits audit, and quell anxiety. We also talk about an experiment Cam did where he only used the social media apps on his phone when he was posting something, and every time he got the itch to check social media for fun, he engaged in something he calls “microjournaling” instead. We end our conversation with how Cam’s journaling changed after he became a dad and his tips on making journaling a consistent habit in your life.

I bought planners. Now I have to plan.

I bought two planners at my local Dollar Tree: a 2024-2025 academic planner and a tiny 2025-26 daily planner with a pretty large “Notes” section in the back. The former should be good for making plans through next summer. It has monthly, weekly, and daily sections. The latter I may use for a microjournal; each day has about 7 lines to write on, which should be enough for me to note anything…

What is your ideal summer breakfast - Public Micro Journaling #4

In my entire life, I have never considered, even for a moment, what my ideal summer breakfast would be. And yes, when I saw @nosebleedclub post it as journaling prompt, I was filled with excitement. Yesterday, it was -18 C where I live. Today is -4C and tomorrow will be 16C. That's just the bipolar nature of spring in the frozen wastelands of southern Ontario. And frankly, I'm sick of it!

I'm sick of shoveling snow. I'm sick of bundling up in layer and layer just to go outside. I'm sick of risking hip fractures walking on icy walkways. I'm sick of it all. I'm ready to feel hot air on my face (not the heater). I'm ready to wear t-shirts in public. I'm ready to spend lazy Sundays on grass. I'm ready to sustain myself off of watermelon and David's Tea. Which brings me to breakfast... My ideal summer breakfast would be...

A fruit bowl with watermelon, kiwi, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, cantaloupe and lime.

A tall glass of iced Coconut Oolong Tea from David's Tea

Preciso do momento livre no dia que me dê tempo e espaço suficiente para seguir os raio de criatividade que a maconha me dá.

Mas parece q só consigo ter boas ideias quando já estou executando uma tarefa, o que me faz perder o foco e me traz ansiedade pq é sempre assim. Começar a escrever foi assim, mas tbm pensei em fazer uma animação da meia espreguicando com a língua pra fora, que ela fez agora mas n gravei.

Talvez zero estímulo não me faz andar, qual é esse equilíbrio?

Creating A Relaxing Space For Increased Productivity

Does the physical environment of your workspace stress you out? Maybe your work area is excessively untidy, or your associates are too noisy; Perhaps your manager is continuously looking over your shoulder, or you can't stand the florescent lights. Whatever the cause, there's a decent possibility it's influencing your state of mind and productivity. 

You probably know at least one friend who’s read “The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing” by Marie Kondo, and wonder if it is really that amazing and life changing.

It is.

Susan Kousek, a Certified Professional Organiser (CPO), says that “Our productivity is impacted by our level of organisation, ...Disorganisation bothers most people and causes stress. The clutter of disorganisation drags many workers down.”

Having a simple and relaxed space helps you to focus, and minimises the stress of having too much paper clutter or distractions that keeps you from being productive at work. 

Here are some tips on creating a relaxing space for a stress-free environment: 

Add Personal Touches

If your workspace stresses you out, try adding some personal items to your desk, cubicle, or office. Be it photographs of loved ones, an inspirational quote, a decorative item that has a special meaning to you, or even a book. 

Clean and Organise the Workspace

As mentioned above, it is difficult to focus when your desk is filled with clutters. Get an organisation system in place, and keep things neat and tidy. Dorothy Spira, the community expert at Evernote says that a messy desk or office results in lost ideas and documents, interrupted workflow, and reduced productivity.

If you’re having trouble deciding what should stay what what should go, ask yourself a series of questions, such as:

“Does this item have a purpose?” “Do I use it on a daily basis?”

“Am I keeping this because I need it, or because I might need it? If I need it, when?”

Do you remember that this was here? Clutter exists because our brain tricks us into thinking that everything is important. Ask yourself these questions, and you should know what to do with it, even if you don’t like the answer. 

Play Some Music

Put some upbeat music on to kickstart your day, or relaxing tunes to help you concentrate on a busy day. This Workday Zen Playlist by Spotify is a great one to listen to.

Incorporate Relaxation Exercises

If you’re allowed to, take a couple of minutes at least once a day to do some stretching, meditation, or go for a walk for some fresh air. Being cooped up in the office can drain you mentally. Breathing in some fresh air can help you to clear your head and put some thoughts into perspective, which can help to spark creativity!

Add Plants

Flowers are soothing, both visually and aromatically. If you don’t have green fingers, try getting a succulent or cactus, which requires less attention. The lemon balm plant is great as well, as it can survive in direct sunlight or shaded areas. Lemon Balm has been studied for its reported mood-boosting abilities. The pleasant smell of lemon that this plant releases is enough to make you feel better throughout the day, according to a study by Ohio State University.

Use a Diffuser, Candle, or Essential Oil 

Treat yourself to a spa-like environment or make your workspace feel more like home by having a diffuser on the desk. Some diffusers come in aesthetically pleasing glass jars, and choosing a favourite scent can help to make you feel better throughout the day. 

Go the extra mile to burn a candle, or massage a drop or two of essential oil on pressure points like your temples or wrists during the day to relieve tension and uplift your spirits. 

Calming scents like Lavender, Rosemary, or Jasmine can fight physical exhaustion, headaches and mental fatigue. Peppermint or Lemon are great refreshing and invigorating scents as well. 

Extra: Keep a Journal!

Journaling is a form of therapy that can raise self-esteem and make you feel happier overall. Expressive writing can also bring healing — emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Dr. Pennebaker, author of Writing to Heal has seen improved immune function in participants of writing exercises. 

Stress often comes from emotional blockages, and overthinking. Journaling increases your emotional intelligence, as it helps you process your emotions and increases your self-awareness. This internal familiarity becomes a bridge of empathy, you’ll better intuit and understand what others are experiencing. 

Journey is a cross-platform private digital journaling app that can help you to do just that. It’s completely private, and even the backup to your Google Drive is hidden and encrypted! Use it as a diary to jot down your daily thoughts and vent your frustrations, keep a gratitude journal, track your fitness and health, or much more! 

Journey is available to download and use for free on Android, iOS, Chrome, and Web; and paid on Mac, Windows.

Tou tendo um dia relativamente normal hoje.

Não fiquei exatamente deprimida, levantei da cama cedo e apesar de ter demorado pra começar minhas merdas, e agora esteja escrevendo em vez de trabalhar, tá tudo dando certo.

Parece que eu tinha medo de achar pavorosa ente entediante ser funcional.

[ternaryflower53]

i'm on day 3 of trying microjournaling on my notes app in an attempt to avoid doomscrolling social media and like, that is hardly a representative sample size, but the sheer amount of me complaining about how tired i am compared to talking about anything else feels...significant

do i know what to do about this information? no but it sure is a thing

[flowingrooted]

kinda want to start microjournaling here again. there was such an ease and a therapeutic benefit to when i was doing it years ago. i’ve been looking back at a lot of those posts and appreciating my own vulnerability and honesty. i seem to have become so much more closed off to myself and to others over the years. which i suppose is normal, but that’s not the same as desirable. i don’t want to be closed off. i want to stay open. i want the wisdom of age & experience to support my growth and my relationship to life, not hinder it.
