Day 8 -  Become More Organized With a Journal

Hi {!firstname_fix}

As you might have already guessed, day 8 of the Journaling for Mental Health email 
series is about becoming more organized with your journal. This may not seem like it is 
for mental health, but being more organized in your life can have a drastic effect on your 
mental state, especially if you suffer from a lot of stress and anxiety. 

Using the Journal for Organizing Your Life

You want to use your journal as a way to organize every facet of your life that you feel is 
falling through the cracks. By doing this, you can reduce your stress levels and even 
ease your anxiety. Many people have stress or chaos as major triggers for their anxiety 
and panic attacks, so there are many benefits. Here are some different ways to use 
your journal for becoming more organized:

Start a bullet journal – Bullet journals take time setting up, but they can provide 
everything you need to be more organized right in the journal. You will keep track of 
appointments and schedules, goals and tasks, to-do lists, household chores, and 
everything else going on in your life.

Make notes about tasks and to-do lists – This is more for general notes about tasks 
you need to do, whether you have a daily or weekly schedule in your journal.

Write down your schedule each day – If you are someone that likes daily journaling, 
especially in the morning, this is the perfect opportunity to talk about what you need to 
do and make a lists you can check off during the day. Create a schedule each morning 
right in the journal that gives you some type of direction.
