How to journal properly?

[Raphael]

I not sure if I'm going to do it, but I'm thinking about creating a self-actualization journal on this forum. I already have a personal journal in my commonplace book which I keep for myself, however, I'm not always very regular and sometimes don't write some important insights. Maybe putting everything online can motivate me. I've always been inspired by people who have nice written and structured journals and I'm not sure what's the best way to do it.

I have many random thoughts throughout my days, but also some long term plans on which I should think more. Is it better to create a journal for all the random stuff who is going on in my head or a more specific one aligned on a big project (I have at least 3 - 4 big goals in my head)? Or both together? Having one journal is already challenging, I don't want to have a tentacular structure, but at the same time, I feel like I need to focus on long term goals.

Also, if you have a journal on this forum, how do you deal with the risk of being recognized online?

Leo has a good video on journaling if you haven't seen it yet. Just search for "actualized + journal" on youtube

Yeah, I already watched this one. It inspired me to create my own commonplace book. Leo says that he just put raw randoms thoughts in his journal, this is a little light for me and  I would like to have more informations from people who have a journal
