Don’t know about the others but, like I mentioned in an earlier thread, I try to make (and often fail ;)) short daily entries (with a few info I want to keep a record of, like the time I woke up and my mood, and so on) but I will also write down the events of the day (nothing major, like politics or whatever drama is going on, just personal stuff, people I met,…) and various things I would like to be able to remember.

I also try to sketch more.

It’s some effort but I also love when an entry contains a sketch. Even if I think it’s awful in the moment, it’s so nice to see it when I’m flipping back through pages - even the worst sketches really help capture a moment

100%. And not just the moment itself but the mood I was in too as I don’t (badly) sketch the same when I’m happy, angry, worried, or whatever.

I have 2 journals : A planner, i just write what happened every day and a diary where i write more personal stuff. The planner is mainly for remembering and Diary for understanding.

Sounds like a good idea. Knowing how I write, I’m not sure I would manage to force myself to keep them separated but I’m curious.
