One journal for everything?

I have started several journals for different things: for private thoughts, for books I’m reading, silly thoughts, tv shows I’m watching, traveling etc. But I struggle writing in them consistently and I also forget which journal is for what.

I’m wondering if there is anyone who uses ONE journal to write everything and anything in until the pages run out? If yes, how do you sort the topics later? Do you re-transcribe? By hand or to a digital format? Take pictures of the pages and create folders on your phone/cloud? Pull out pages and put them in folders? 🤔

Little moment for myself

My toddlers are out with my husband and my babies are sleeping. I have some time for coffee and my journal. Strangely, I am journaling much more often since I became mom of four. Anyone with the same experience?

Journaling and Blogging

I'm curious if anyone keeps a digital journal/blog (anonymous or not) and also physically journals regularly (daily/weekly).

For those that do: How do you feel about this practice? Do you feel like it is redundant or is it better?

For those that don't, and do one or the other: Why don't you? What are your thoughts on it?

Kind of a silly question

But I had been keeping a journal for some time now and I was wondering… how some of you deal with “unleashing” your dark thoughts into it and letting them go? My therapist recommended I do it but I find myself feeling worse about myself after writing those thoughts down… maybe because I am going through a particularly rough patch now but I find myself not wanting to journal as often as I once did because of all the “negativity” in me.

Does it make sens?

Doodling Drinks

Was finally able to find the perfect use for my Caran D’ Ache 849 Ballpoint Pen - Doodles! I didn’t really like this when writing, but I found it perfect for quick sketches! Don’t judge, I’m not the best at drawings 😂

Another journal finished!

Second main journal completed from May 14th 2026 to July 31st 2026. It’s ugly as all hell but it’s who I am and that’s what matters to me. Thought I wanted a b5 journal this time around until I realized I don’t have that much to write about so it’s back to a5 for the next one lol. I can’t thank you all enough for being the amazing community that you are!

journaling outside is the best

Spent this evening journaling with a lovely view. No phone service, no other people, just me, my journal, and the honeybees.

Journaling in Between Work

Is it just me or do you also journal at work? Got lots to do but I just can’t help these thoughts in my head waiting to be written.

She's complete

It took me from April 4, 2026 to just now August 18, 2026. I feel like this journal took a longer time, but it was only a month longer than my usual. I think it's because I took more breaks. My next journal is coming today, and I'm ready to start writing in it because I feel like I don't spend enough time writing, to be honest. It is my constant companion.

Tw suicide and depression

Wanted to get rid of these pages. So I thought I'd save them here.

Sorry for my awful handwriting too

Cozy Journaling

Lately, I haven't had the time to take a step back and have some me time. So, I took an "everything shower," brewed some tea, and curled up with my journal. Truly therapeutic ✨
