The joy of writing your journal is exciting and secretively amusing as whatever goes in your life, your journal knows everything. While your journal becomes your best good-time and bad-time buddy, sometimes, it becomes difficult to keep up with your pace of daily writing. So, aside from the joy of daily writing, it’s crucial to maintain a daily writing discipline as well while ensuring that repetitive things won’t bore you and that your excitement of writing stays on top. Therefore, several excellent tips can make your journal journey even more interesting.
I started writing in my Journals when I was twelve:

1. Keep your journal with you, always
Even if you can’t make time to write your journal every day, always keep your journal with you as who knows, whenever the artistry strikes you.

2. Try to keep it simple
Don’t get overexcited as it’s easy to get blinded by the perfect pretty pictures of diary writing ideas on Pinterest and Instagram. Always remember that it’s your journal and you don’t need to copy anyone’s ideas to make your journal look beautiful and exciting. I guess – keeping your language and ideas simple is the best way to have your own authentic and unique piece of your life’s journal.
3. Do not panic about writing every day
One of the most prominent parts of making your journal journey joyful is not to panic about making regular entries. A journal is written to relieve the stress of the mind by sharing your thoughts in your diary, so your mind can feel at ease. Stressing about making regular entries will be like a burden that will ruin the peace of your mind, which is not the motive of journaling.

4. Make short entries
It doesn’t matter how much you write in your journal, to maintain discipline, what’s important is to make an entry. Keep your entries short when you have less time. Also, one of the benefits of making short entries is they don’t bore you, if you write something repetitive because every day can’t have something unique to write about, then just write a couple of lines that make you happy.
5. Make To-Do Lists
Moving on, if you can’t write a whole story or are not comfortable writing paragraph-based journals, an alternative way to keep on writing is by making to-do lists. These lists allow you to put your thoughts and routine as one-liners, which are easier to write, and further you can make a checkbox in front of each line for the tasks that you have accomplished on a day.

6. Don’t bother mistaking
Mistakes are common and anybody can mistakes. Leave your mistakes as it is on that page that will remind you about ‘admitting mistakes and overcoming them without regrets’ in the future.
7. Create a personal design or logo
A personal design or logo gives your writing a look like a masterpiece that works as a motivation. Also, this design can be anything like your own artistic signature with a few emojis.
8. Forget about perfection
Perfection is not for journals, daily writing is a way to express the exact thoughts that you feel at a certain moment, and an individual’s thoughts are beyond perfection. So, forget about being perfect and embrace the real you not a manifested one.
