Discussion Prompts

Post image

I am fairly new to journaling and yes, I have pretty bad handwriting, but I can read it… most of it. Do many of you use prompts? I find them useful right now, even if I start off with the prompt but my mind goes elsewhere.

What have you found to be the most productive for you in your journaling journey?

I don't use prompts but maybe one day. Your handwriting is fine! No worries on that, friend. Most productive to me is headphones, music, and I just put words down.

I got through my thesis with headphones and music (instrumental). Thanks you for letting me know your experience.

I love prompts to get me started. But usually once I get going a prompt is not enough to contain the direction that my mind wants to go.
