Journaling is one of the best ways to get your work done. A
journal helps you keep track of time as well as how you choose to spend it.
Most people write diary to express their thoughts, but writing one to track
your day and time will be more productive in the long run.
A journal not only helps in recording your daily life, but it also helps in
organising and planning your day. There are two ways of going about a journal;
either recording your daily life or your thoughts about it, or by writing about
the things you plan to do every day – the time you wake up, your commute, work,
etc. There is no need to get in the philosophical and pondering mode for the
day. Initially, this task might be boring, but eventually you will get the hang
of it.
Benjamin Franklin had his diary divided into two parts. On
the left side of the page, he used to write about one good deed he did during
the day and in the evening he used to ponder on the same question once again.
The center part of the diary is divided into a planner that lists all the
waking hours. On the right side people can write what they did throughout the
day at each hour. One of the great things is that he used to document even the
hours he spent in leisure.
This would also help him reflect on the hours he wasted on contemplating and
doing nothing. In order to be more productive, monitoring is important. What
can be a better tool than noting down what you do! You can either use online
note taking tools or go the old school way by writing things down. Now that you
know how to go about it, pick up a notebook and start journaling today to
be more productive.
