Confession time: I'm super obsessed with the obsession with journaling.
You know exactly what I'm talking about--the bullet journals your organized friends have, the scrapbooking craze you mom went through a few years ago, the daily documentation of life on Instagram. However, I've never been good at keeping a journal--digital or physical, photo-based or word-based.
Every time I try to start keeping track of my day-to-day, I tend to get distracted and give up. However, my interest in this particular niche culture has led me to discover something that has kept my attention focused and my pen writing: let me introduce you to the Q&A A Day 5 Year Journal.
Recommended to me by a friend who is practically a goddess of organization, this journal is super easy to use. Instead of having to free write or remember passwords to journaling apps, this journal has a series of 365 questions that you answer, one each day.
The questions are wide-ranging, asking everything from "Do you need a break? From what?" to "Which art movement best describes you today?"
The best part of this journal is that it has space for five years of answers –– by investing in this very tiny book (I bought my at Barnes & Noble in the journal section!), you're able to document five years of your life, captured in fun and fascinating questions.
I've been using this journal for a month now, and I'm just as excited about it now as I was when I first bought it. Answering the questions is super fast, and I look forward to seeing how my answers change with the years as I study abroad, graduate, and begin living in the real world. In short, I totally recommend picking up a copy of this journal –– just start writing!
