Journaling isn't just for angsty high schoolers who crave the rush of chronicling every run-in with their crush. Keeping a journal or notebook at work can prove extremely beneficial to your productivity, goal-setting, memory, and mental health. It helps you become more detail-oriented and put all of those jumbled-up ideas in your brain to paper. Work journals are a great way to reflect on what does and doesn't work for you, and how you can change in order to grow.
So, where do you start? Begin with the basics -- what kind of journal do you want? There are tons of options. You might want a plain spiral notebook, a planner with notes section, or a fancy shmancy work journal you find online. Whatever you choose, just make sure the journal allows enough room for you to scribble your heart out.
