Effective Journaling Practices for Better Life Quality?

I don’t write daily, but I practice these three:

  • personal journal
  • gratitude journal
  • dream journal

For personal, I write the following:

  • mood
  • activity
  • location
  • tags
  • actual journal title and content

This is actually going to be one of my use cases for Anytype. I’ve written a few entries already, but no template yet. I plan to take advantage of Relations to group my entries into categories because it has always been my frustration that most journal apps don’t have a filing system in place.

With my entries scattered in Word, Journey, Dream Catcher, and Notion, I have a lot to organize.

For a full journal experience, I’d like to plug Map/Location View. It’s a common feature in journaling apps, perfect for travel inspiration or simply reminiscing about the places you’ve been to. :grinning:

Other good-to-haves:

  • A View where you can scroll down to read multiple entries
  • A Calendar that you can filter to only show icons or relations (like mood) – for tracking mental health
  • Tag Cloud (widget/block) – very useful for checking which topics are common in your entries/dreams
  • Grouping in Sets so entries are automatically grouped per month.
