In summary-
Starting small and gaining a small habit goes a long way. It doesn't have to be as perfect / complicated as you expected it to be

I improv and switch up my journaling style often & its what worked for me but might not work for everyone out there, but I hope you know-

Before long I noticed I was journaling consistently. If I miss a day or two I'd try to recount what I remember and update even just 1 sentence.

It helps to write a to-do list for tomorrow at night-time or just doodling the weather or writing the dates down to keep track.

Getting a pretty pen really motivates me to pick it up, especially when it clips onto my notebook and doesn't take time for me to find and use it.

Started the first page with simple to-do list & doodle/ writing anything I can think of. Now almost halfway through the book.

It's not super consistent/detailed, but I used the calendar till the end and gained one important habit of writing things down. It gave a boost in confidence in journaling again.

When I was away for vacay and didn't bring along the calendar with me, or when things got busy, it's fine! I just cross out the days that have passed and only write when I want to.

And it moved from writing only for practical use-- to me writing my big feelings down.

Reminders-
Occasionally picking up the calendar to write down a highlight moment of the day, I see the little notes I left for myself below on the calendar and felt motivated to practice the small goals I set before.
