I've started to keep a journal last year. I find it very useful and important to my life now. I've started it as a way to record how I felt about things and what my thoughts are since my mood used to very unstable and vary a lot, and journaling is considered helpful for mental health since you can dump your thoughts out and review them. I also wanted to practice handwriting and I enjoy writing as a process. I always write in cursive. I don't use any computer tools at this time. I use a Black and Red notebook, because I didn't like the ratios of paper quality, sizes, or lining of others that I tried. Writing on the computer doesn't seem to have the same effect (and this is confirmed by various studies, from the looks of it). There's no particular methodology. I try to write often, but don't find it necessary to write every day. If I don't feel like writing, I don't, usually, I do. I put the date down, and that's it. Pretty much anything goes there. Events that happened, predictions and outcomes, personal concerns, dark thoughts, quotes, prayers, litany, ideas for projects, mini-stories about fictional worlds, notes about topics, insights, poems, math problems, diagrams, doodles.
