A little while back I purchased a book that I came across called The Year of You. It's a book with daily journal topics. There's one for every day of the year. I started doing the daily journals by hand, writing them old school. Pen and paper. I know they suggest that you don't journal "online", that you actually sit down with pen & paper and write. I'm sure it has something to do with making it more personal, less distractions, etc. Which makes sense. But for me, it's so hard to find a comfy spot to sit and write like that. Not to mention, when I get on a really hot topic, it's not long before my hand hurts. On computer I can type almost 100 words per minute. Hard to compete with that when using pen and paper! lol
My goal is to complete the whole thing though. I've browsed through the book a little bit and some days the writing is pretty short, other days it looks like some pretty intense questions to journal about. Not only are there journal prompts for each day, but every month covers a different topic as well. The author says you can start from the day you start journaling. Like today is June 27th, so I could start there and write about that days journal entry. Or you could start from the beginning.
I think to me it makes the most sense to start from the beginning, because some entries seem to build on the one before it a bit. Anyways, so that's what I'm gonna do. :) I might jump around here and there, either using other journal prompts or maybe I'll just feel like writing something off topic for that day, or maybe I'll do more than 1 a day, who knows. So I'll title those entries or tag them with 'The Year of You'.
Ok...let's get started! lol
