I also find journaling for even five minutes in the morning helps clear my mind. The benefits seem to last all day too. My problem was that I would forget to journal many mornings. I solved this by piggy-backing on an existing habit, checking my email. I built a morning journal via email that sends a template similar to the article’s every morning. It has built in tagging so I can go back on Sunday evenings and see all the times I mentioned a certain person or topic. If this sounds like it might be helpful for you give it a spin at https://mymomentjournal.com https://mymomentjournal.com it’s free for 3 weeks so you can see if the habit sticks.
