A work journal is like a personal diary where you keep your most intimate secrets, goals, accomplishments, troubles and other worth-mentioning experiences at work. It can be anything from a paper-based scrapbook, small notebook, to an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document, or a blog. Over time, you can review your writings as you wish and learn from your past self. Through journaling, you can save these snippets of memories for future reference. In this article, we will tackle on five advantages of keeping a work journal.
1) Release Stress from Work
Jotting down all the riots in the workplace—the good, the bad and the ugly—will help you unwind and release stress. It’s like relieving the burden off your chest to a friend that’s in you. Spilling the beans on paper and keeping those secrets to yourself will also improve your self-expression and provide more clarity to your thoughts. By writing, you are retelling and asking the why’s, what’s, how’s of how the day went. You can then plan ahead for the next days to come. By doing so, you can also sleep well and interact with your family members, friends and colleagues more positively.
