<human>:  How can I keep a journal effectively to record my daily life?
<bot>: Establish a consistent time each day to write in your journal, like first thing in the morning or right before bed. 2 Set specific goals for your journal entries, such as what you would like to include each day or how often you would like to write. 3 Don't worry if you miss a day or don't have anything of particular interest to report; just write about your everyday activities and feelings.4 Incorporate elements of journaling that work best for you, such as adding photos or drawings, or writing in a particular format.5 Ask yourself reflection questions at the end of each entry to better understand your emotions and thoughts.6 Go back and re-read your journal from time to time to assess your progress.
