guys its been a while
I'm sitting down and was wondering if other people feel like journaling can be a chore sometimes? Like picking up the pen and paper and writing down something is so big of a task? I see so many journals on things like Pinterest and TikTok that are full and for me its so hard to even fill one when I want to so bad.
I try things like creative journaling but then what might contribute to my issue is that once I finish a page I'm like, well now what? Can someone give me a solution lol this is a real struggle!!

A lot of whats posted on Tiktok and Pinterest is performative, so don't beat yourself up over that. Do what makes you genuinely happy - if it's tiring you don't have to do it.
I've redone at least 50 friggin bullet journals lol.
Now, if you want to journal but don't enjoy writing- try a different form of it. There's a lot of journal apps nowadays and they're easy to splatter a few paragraphs in your phone.
*If you're a yapper I recommend this with Text to Speech.
Or finding something that is cloud hosted so you can move from your computer/laptop to your phone.
If you really want to write with pen and paper, try to keep that journal on you as much as possible, let it get dinged up and collect your random thoughts. Sometimes that "chore" feeling is connected to a need for perfection, and a huge point of journaling is accepting we're not perfect.
This helps so much, i never thought about a text to speech option because I often feel like my brain moves faster than my hand can write so thank u!
