Productivity journaling :
Using a journal for productivity purposes is a genius idea. Since being productive is all about making smart choices at the right time to make your work effective.
And in the process, you gain many benefits:

But how to do it?
Reminding you that journaling is a free activity in which you can write whatever you want. No rules included!
However, here are some ideas to help you focus on productivity in your journal:
Analyze your day
Take a few minutes at the end of each day to write about what you did, what you accomplished, and how you felt. Documenting moments of your day makes you more conscious about how your time passes. It helps you recognize the gaps and fill them wisely throughout your day!
With this being said, just this week I tried a similar thing. I made it a habit to write about my day every night, aiming to track how I spent my time and what consumed the most of it. As a result, it provided me with helpful insights and more control over my daily routine. Approved and recommended!
