Lessons I've learned and wish to share: 1. The secret to weight loss is simple: eat less, eat the right foods, move more. I lost 25 pounds and have maintained the loss for 5 years. 2. The past is nothing more than carefully edited nostalgia because not all memories are true or even ever happened. Example: I have/had a memory of my best friend coming out to me. It's clear as bell and I could even draw a picture if asked. Problem: IT NEVER HAPPENED THAT WAY! 3. You can't and shouldn't be happy every single moment. Hope and strive for contentment and when happiness hit, put it in memory (keep it real and don't idealize it). 4.Shit happens. Deal with it and don't dwell on it. It's now in the past and unless you have a time machine you can't go back and change a thing. 5. When feeing overwhelmed, take a walk. 6. Meditate / practices mindfulness whatever everyday. Keeps you from going fucking crazy. 7. There is no shame in seeking professional help. It may be your road to sanity. Thank you.
WHY? 1) Historically successful people do it. 2) Helps you to stop looking for answers and listen to yourself 3) You can use your journal to coach yourself WHAT? 1) Not a diary, not complete sentences, not neat 2) Journal from inspiration not obligation HOW? 1) Use a blank sketchbook 2) Save the first page for top 1% of lessons learnt 3) Write in big font in front cover the number of days left till you're 90 4) In the back cover write your goals for the year in 3 categories (work, rest & play) - Should be quantifiable 5) 6&1 Journaling Method - divide pages into 6 sections in your life (20 pages or so for each) e.g. business ideas, business ideas...
I wanted to share this quote with you. I heard it today and I absolutely fell in love with it!! It would definitely be in my top 1%, it was life-changing for sure!! Einstein said, "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
My six sections are • Daily (basically diary summaries) • Freedom (brain dump) • Things I've learned (from podcasts, TH-cam, social media, school, etc) • Content ideas (for TH-cam and tiktok) • Mental health reflection Book Notes: Film and Book big ideas
I've literally just discovered your channel an hour ago. I'm currently binge watching your journaling videos and subsequently ordered a journal for 2021. Almost had a heart attack when I saw your upload! Manifestation at it's finest. :)
This makes me happy to know someone else cares so much about journaling. I've been journaling for years now, and most people think I'm nuts when I say that I would 100% grab my journals before anything else, in the event of a fire or other event. Great video! New subscriber :)
The sections I made are: 1.) front (where the planning happens about self improvement) 2.) Spiritual (meditation, Chakras, breathwork, self reflection, journey to true self) 3.) business (any updates about business ideas, organizing ideas, etc.) 4.) Quotes (inspirational quotes I run across to) and write my own understanding/application to my life. (ex. Stop looking for the right person and start becoming the right person) 5.) brain dumps/ to do's ( realizations, random ideas, to do list) Back - goals for the whole year
Hey Clark, instead of watching the news in the morning, I’ve started watching a couple of your videos to the start the day. I feel so much more positive and energised for it! I have yet to start a full journal but I do have a personal development note book that I write all of the nuggets I want to remember in and it is super useful. Love your energy and look forward to watching more! Thank you!
"I don't want it to be neat, I want it to be effective." This really made sense to me, I guess that's the factor that's keeping me from having half-filled journals, because I don't wanna write in it anymore if I'm not "in the zone" to make my writing neat and pretty.
Really love journaling and have always had a time at find one that was all encompassing. I like a (1) daily schedule with priorities and daily/weekly goals, so that would be a section, (2) book review section, (3) meditation insights section, (4) business brain storming, (5) food journal (water intake, meal planning and meal prep), exercise log with workouts, body measurements, etc.; (6) finance section for tracking spending, budget, financial plan and money goals.
I found you by looking up Chakra stuff and now I'm building my 1st journal, lol. Just awesome. I've always tried; it was never organized, so it naturally didn't work for me. My blank book came in today and im excited to build my year. Going to sound funny, but in a way you've given permission to Not be OCD in the journal; just be organized and let it flow. Love it. You've changed my life and challenged my thinking.
Been journaling for years now, it’s so powerful and transformative. Especially when you have anger, hatred and resentments it’s so much more productive to write it down instead of saying it to someone. Namaste 🙏🏻
My 6 sections will be: 1) travel: a record of places I want to go and places I visited during the year. 2) education: right now I’m studying my masters so I’d mostly write about that, but I also like to practice my Italian and would probably come up with ideas on how to practice it more or record how it’s developing, hopefully will begin with French, I’m learning hand-lettering and calligraphy, among many other things. 3) health: this is mostly for mental health issues or situations; physical health might also be included. 4) financial independence: planning for retirement, keeping up with my savings, planning big purchases, etc. 5) love & relationships: I’ll write about friends and lovers and everything that I experience in these relationships. 6) memories: I’m very forgetful so I’ll record here important events or situations in my life that I wanna keep.
I started this journal journey 2 years ago after watch Clark’s video and am so grateful for these videos because it is perhaps the best habit I’ve ever developed, thanks Clark ✨
wow I’m gonna order one of these journals now and stop having to use and feel distracted by the many ones I have haha. my sections: 1. health & wellbeing/self care section 2. music (songwriting, ideas, updates) 3. Materials (business n services, saving & earning money, plans and goals to save for certain things, budgeting, spending) 4. Spirituality & manifestation 5. Freedom section
Journaling is something everyone should do … it’s simple, no rules, write anything - write as much or as little as you want, but just do it … For me: I write mine on an iPad in Goodnotes, and I keep three journals by topic: Stoic Journal (personal development), Technical Journal (work related), Artist Pages (creative space)
The greatest period of change came when I moved to a new country and started blogging about my life. Then I stopped after a few months, perhaps content. I find it difficult to start blogging again because of the need to have all my ideas aligned and the lack of "proper setup" when backpacking. I think journaling is my answer to WRITING MORE. I'm going to get a notebook TODAY!
What!?... OMG, I needed this!! Thanks, Clark! "what if you could coach yourself?... stop looking, start listening." (I thought of you saying 'stop settling, start living').... doggone, that's good stuff right there!
Every year the company I work for wants me to set productivity goals. I hate doing it! But I set the goals anyway and turn them in and never look at them again. Trying to stick to a daily list becomes very frustrating because the first time something urgent happens that thwarts the routine it is almost impossible to get back to a rigid plan that really doesn't allow for flexibility. I am excited about this method of journaling where I can keep a record of the past and set goals for the future in one place. Thank you very much!
Clark is right on, listening to yourself is key to success. I have worked with many people who want to make journaling part of their habits and daily routines, yet they struggle with getting started and making it a habit. If that is you, my best tip to you all is to start small, maybe once or twice per week in the beginning, and eventually roll out to doing it daily. It's a fantastic tool for being the best you can be!
Clark, i just discovered you. I have heard vaguely about the benefits of journaling, and always considered it but this is next level! I'm 56 and I will be buying my jornal this week. You are brilliant, much thanks !
I am grateful for this video. I’ve always had a diary/journal since I was like 12. Usually my journals last like 5 years since I only journal when I have a crisis (usually an emotional/mental health/depression/anxiety situation) but 2020 made me realize that maybe I should be more consistent with my journaling and use it as a way to stay balanced and productive. This video gave me lots of ideas. So thanks for that.
Hey Clark, I just wanted to personally thank you for the effort and quality you put into these videos, you’re energy is so empowering, I have a lot of negative stuff going on in my personal life and your videos have helped me begin my spiritual journey, it’s so breathtakingly beautiful to see the world without a dark and nasty filter over your eyes, thanks for what you do man keep your the amazing content, you’re changing lives 🙏🏼
I was searching for Jim Kwik's how to write a journal and landed on your 2015 recording then watched the two more thereafter. This is the fourth one. It is becoming well baked method on the journaling as a tool for being effective in life. Thanks for sharing your experience and details of why, what and how. I used to write down ideas, and hard issues, track my work and action items, then shifted to use Excel to keep track of things in one spot electronically. You have a very nice method. Great job in showing value in writing and documenting by hand.
Mantra for 21: Here's to testing negative and remaining positive! Genius. I watched these journal videos from each year and I am actually doing the work now. Thanks for the knowledge to listen to myself.
My sections .. but I will try to rework how much to put in each section for the next journal; because some sections are bigger than others. 1. Manage me: with financials, home mgt, plans for impovement, health and fitness.. 2. Friends, family and connections: stories, event planning, cooking and our shared hobbies. Teaching. 3. Creative me: art and writing, arts ideation, also any new creative hobbies. Art shows. 4. Develop me: learning new things, improving tech skills, learning things that improve me and are outside of creative me. 5. Entertain: travel, gaming, the ‘fun just for fun’ stuff. Also I color code these. In my master index at the front, color dots in front of each page or spread, usually 1 color but sometimes 2 or 3. More than that is very rare.
Hey, really nice list! Kinda stole some of your ideas, since I thought that they were real good. I wanted to check with you, on how often do you write to your journal? Is it like a daily or more of a weekly thing?
My segments would probably be: 1. Self-Taught (autodidact) 2. Interpersonal 3. Linguistic (Neuro-Linguistic programming) 4. Psychodynamically (psychology) 5. Personal Growth and Health 6. Affirmations and long-term (life) goals Something along those categories I would be journaling about.💫
Hi I am a Mental Health Coach from Singapore . I came across your channel by chance and I must say I'm amazed. I journal but it just didn't appeal to me (too much washi tape) but this is just amazing. Thank you for sharing this and I've subscribed the channel and I am looking forward to binge on more stuff. Lots of love from Singapore!
Life time count down. I did that to count down 10 years to retirment, removing sick, vacation and holidays. I made it a key metric for the last year. It was a surprise to see how fast the numbers were going down in the final year to retiremnet, and it was inspriational. It’s a great idea and even better when you plan for actual, reachable and personal target dates.
Attempting to read your journal gives me a true understanding of "chicken scratch"! Lol. I am glad that you are sharing a heart's desire of yours! Thank you,
Clark thank you soo much for everything you do This is going to be my second year to keeping the journal Looking forward to it. May god bless you with happiness and health Keep it up bro!
I'm happy I stopped by your channel today. I'm looking to free my mind and soul this year. Looking to get every little thing in my life in order. Thank you!
I just started watching your videos recently, and I feel like every message you put out helps me to develop myself into a better person and really self reflect. Thank you!
If ever I'll have sections, these will be: 1. Passive Income --> things about how to achieve passive income, how to sustain it and how to teach it to others so that they can achieve passive income too themselves especially here in the Philippines where many think that they'll just have to pick an in-demand course like nursing or becoming a seaman then work abroad (leaving their loved ones and families behind). 2. Productivity --> things to become more productive about everyday things to be more efficient and effective living. 3. Wisdom --> perspectives that could change a life just by knowing a wise thing to do in certain situations. Thanks for teaching how to journal without the stress that I should be doing this every single day just to believe that I'm being productive. I think that being productive is just a tool to get to your goal "easier" rather than doing it as a habit thus making oneself miserable because one should do this as a productive person.
You are real just found you on my spiritual journey if its ok i may quote you every now and then on my channel only to help people find light. You truley have been my inspiration to fulfill my life purpose as yours lead people to light and love. Sending you love and light
Been waiting for this! I already have my 2021 journal and I will mostly focus on forming habits that I've wanted in my life for so long. Metamorphic Coaching sounds really cool and helpful too, and I have to check that out for sure. Thank you again Clark for the great video, keep it up!
Watching your journaling video every year has become a ritual when I’m organising mine. You should release your video in the last few days before new year! So I can organise my journal watching your new video
So happy I came across this video, just received my new journal have been on burnt-out all 2020 Hope to try something in a Journal I feel this just helped. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this! Picked up a sketch book and got started. I borrowed your input about manifesting what we are and the vulnerability drawing in. Thank you again!
Stumbled on this channel by chance and am really glad I did. Definitely going to follow for me things. Another thing; I never knew Sectioning your journal is a thing. I have been doing that for almost 5 years now 😂. I did it on a whim because i tend to be overly organized with things. My secontions are: Daily, Spirituality, Art, Books, Studies and Writing. They definitely help to have a section for everything and it's more organized as well. Thank you for this video!
My 6 Journal Sections would be : 1. Student Life track ( since I'm a student n want to track my academic performance ) 2. Self-work 3. Spiritual track 4. Just write 5. Emotion Record 6. Book knowledge
Happy New Year, stumbled across your channel some how and love it! I’m watched 1-2 videos currently and taking inspiration from it! Im at a crossroads in my life so it seems to be the best time to make some changes 🙏
I love to go back and read my old journals is great to see how my mind has evolve and change as I matured... but I have too many notebooks / a have a mini notebook/ a planner / another for YT I like the idea of having it all in one ! And it looks much neater ! Thanks for sharing Clark ‘! I will be adopting your ways of journaling .
I really needed to see this, I'm so glad it popped up on my screen that you just uploaded it. it really hit me when you was talking about the number 32,850 and wow at how accurate you really are. and talking about how others have journaled there life and leaving something behind and listening from within and basically being who you want to truly be and just everything you said you are very on point and I really enjoyed it! I am going to start journaling and see what happens. I haven't been exactly to happy here lately and I'm going to change that. thank you so much for sharing! Happy New Year! ♡
, I have been so distracted listening to you, am at the beginning of the track, and is so right, we think we can quit, am watching the making of the Barbie movie. Looks so funny, cute. I am also taking some pictures 📸 with my smartphone to make a vision board.
Back to watch this again as I get ready to set up my 2022 journal! I did a lot of research and love this method the best... really enjoyed using it 2021 and I'm going to keep it up! Effortless with this method 👌
Thanks for sharing your journaling technique. I found your video in early 2021 and started journaling this way. I mentioned it today in my video to kick of 2022 and included the link to your video in the description. I'll also be giving you a shoutout in my podcast. I've really appreciated the content you share on your channel. Thank you.
Hi I’m new and I’ve been journaling since I was 14 and now I’m 28 I keep all of my journals but I love your method as well. I’m happy I came across your channel lol! Love how you explained it, hopefully my boyfriend would watch you and start journaling because I think 💭 it grows your mental health physically mentally- Also I really love the freedom page & family page , I’m thinking about starting this as soon as my current journal is done!!!
You could totally do a blank journal. People would buy it because it belongs to your "brand". I'm sure you could still come up with something cool. Maybe you could do the small print in white where it looks almost invisible or maybe in some type of invisible ink you can only see in the dark or with glasses haha...
What do you do if you fill up a section before the end of the year? or you fill the whole journal before the end of the year? do you just start a new one?
I've tried just brain dumping but I found it too disorderly and unstructured. I've tried bullet journals but I felt like they had the opposite problem. I've tried flowery aesthetic ones and boring just straight-text ones. I've tried digital and traditional (I prefer traditional, I know that much). I've taken a hybrid method of all of the above and that's helped some. But always interested to hear new thing to try out. I might adopt your method for a while and then probably take bits I like and throw away what I don't. Probably ending up with a hybrid model of my ideas and yours.
What happened to the superman outfit this year lol! Love your videos, you simplify everything very well and this is what predominantly people are looking for i feel. Life is already convoluted enough right. You have done really well with this, please keep it going and wishing you every success for the future. Peace and Love! :) Right I'm off to get me a journal now.......
Sorry about the gap in uploads. Was home for the holidays and got sick! Not the VID though. Got tested. So here's to testing negative and remaining positive!

Great content btw
What kind of watch are you wearing?
Can you use 55x5 method within your jornalling?
You get a pass this time, just don’t let it happen again! 🤣
Lessons I've learned and wish to share:
1. The secret to weight loss is simple: eat less, eat the right foods, move more. I lost 25 pounds and have maintained the loss for 5 years.
2. The past is nothing more than carefully edited nostalgia because not all memories are true or even ever happened. Example: I have/had a memory of my best friend coming out to me. It's clear as bell and I could even draw a picture if asked. Problem: IT NEVER HAPPENED THAT WAY!
3. You can't and shouldn't be happy every single moment. Hope and strive for contentment and when happiness hit, put it in memory (keep it real and don't idealize it).
4.Shit happens. Deal with it and don't dwell on it. It's now in the past and unless you have a time machine you can't go back and change a thing.
5. When feeing overwhelmed, take a walk.
6. Meditate / practices mindfulness whatever everyday. Keeps you from going fucking crazy.
7. There is no shame in seeking professional help. It may be your road to sanity.
Thank you.
Great points Steve! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing🙏
Thank you Steve I wrote these lessons in my journal I will carry them on forever

I wanted to share this quote with you. I heard it today and I absolutely fell in love with it!! It would definitely be in my top 1%, it was life-changing for sure!! Einstein said, "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

Isn't he awesome?? He'd gotten so successful, he really knows what he's telling us. He's not another bs creator, he's done the real work.
This makes me happy to know someone else cares so much about journaling. I've been journaling for years now, and most people think I'm nuts when I say that I would 100% grab my journals before anything else,
in the event of a fire or other event.
Great video!
New subscriber :)

1.) front (where the planning happens about self improvement)
2.) Spiritual (meditation, Chakras, breathwork, self reflection, journey to true self)
3.) business (any updates about business ideas, organizing ideas, etc.)
4.) Quotes (inspirational quotes I run across to) and write my own understanding/application to my life. (ex. Stop looking for the right person and start becoming the right person)

Writing the number on the inside cover is a VERY stoic thing to do. I love it.

BRUCE LEE kept a positive journal, one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century!
Clark, i just discovered you. I have heard vaguely about the benefits of journaling, and always considered it but this is next level! I'm 56 and I will be buying my jornal this week. You are brilliant, much thanks !
It's like being a clerk of our own lives. I love it. Thank you I'll keep supporting !!

My sections .. but I will try to rework how much to put in each section for the next journal; because some sections are bigger than others.
1. Manage me: with financials, home mgt, plans for impovement, health and fitness..
2. Friends, family and connections: stories, event planning, cooking and our shared hobbies. Teaching.
3. Creative me: art and writing, arts ideation, also any new creative hobbies. Art shows.
4. Develop me: learning new things, improving tech skills, learning things that improve me and are outside of creative me.
5. Entertain: travel, gaming, the ‘fun just for fun’ stuff.
Also I color code these. In my master index at the front, color dots in front of each page or spread, usually 1 color but sometimes 2 or 3. More than that is very rare.
Hey, really nice list! Kinda stole some of your ideas, since I thought that they were real good. I wanted to check with you, on how often do you write to your journal? Is it like a daily or more of a weekly thing?
My segments would probably be:
1. Self-Taught (autodidact)
2. Interpersonal
3. Linguistic (Neuro-Linguistic programming)
4. Psychodynamically (psychology)
5. Personal Growth and Health
6. Affirmations and long-term (life) goals
Something along those categories I would be journaling about.💫
Hi I am a Mental Health Coach from Singapore . I came across your channel by chance and I must say I'm amazed. I journal but it just didn't appeal to me (too much washi tape) but this is just amazing. Thank you for sharing this and I've subscribed the channel and I am looking forward to binge on more stuff. Lots of love from Singapore!
Life time count down. I did that to count down 10 years to retirment, removing sick, vacation and holidays. I made it a key metric for the last year. It was a surprise to see how fast the numbers were going down in the final year to retiremnet, and it was inspriational. It’s a great idea and even better when you plan for actual, reachable and personal target dates.
I m soo obsessed with this.
God bless you Clark. Wish you a lot of success and prosperity. You are a gift to this world. Thank you for beeing there for everyone of us
Attempting to read your journal gives me a true understanding of "chicken scratch"! Lol. I am glad that you are sharing a heart's desire of yours! Thank you,
1-book notes
2-weekly to do list
3-freedom
4-world affairs
5-Body building and nutrition
6-sports
Clark thank you soo much for everything you do
This is going to be my second year to keeping the journal Looking forward to it.
May god bless you with happiness and health
Keep it up bro!
I’m gonna start doing this. I feel like the journal will help with me holding myself accountable
I'm happy I stopped by your channel today. I'm looking to free my mind and soul this year. Looking to get every little thing in my life in order. Thank you!
Gratitude, Book Notes, Law, Growth, Brain Dump, and Freedom.
I just started watching your videos recently, and I feel like every message you put out helps me to develop myself into a better person and really self reflect. Thank you!
Try the channel BetterIdeas.. It's much more precise and helpful
Clark!,I was literally talking to my friend about this yesterday! in a sense don’t I like to use “don’t lose yourself trying to find yourself “ .
I've been doing this for 4 years cause of you, using the same journal and everything, I love it!
If ever I'll have sections, these will be:
1. Passive Income
--> things about how to achieve passive income, how to sustain it and how to teach it to others so that they can achieve passive income too themselves especially here in the Philippines where many think that they'll just have to pick an in-demand course like nursing or becoming a seaman then work abroad (leaving their loved ones and families behind).
2. Productivity
--> things to become more productive about everyday things to be more efficient and effective living.
3. Wisdom
--> perspectives that could change a life just by knowing a wise thing to do in certain situations.
Thanks for teaching how to journal without the stress that I should be doing this every single day just to believe that I'm being productive. I think that being productive is just a tool to get to your goal "easier" rather than doing it as a habit thus making oneself miserable because one should do this as a productive person.
You are real just found you on my spiritual journey if its ok i may quote you every now and then on my channel only to help people find light. You truley have been my inspiration to fulfill my life purpose as yours lead people to light and love. Sending you love and light
I'm going to journal like this! And set up the sections!!
I'm going to wrap it and open to start in October on my birthday! Eek!!
Been waiting for this! I already have my 2021 journal and I will mostly focus on forming habits that I've wanted in my life for so long. Metamorphic Coaching sounds really cool and helpful too, and I have to check that out for sure. Thank you again Clark for the great video, keep it up!
Watching your journaling video every year has become a ritual when I’m organising mine. You should release your video in the last few days before new year! So I can organise my journal watching your new video

Thank you for sharing this! Picked up a sketch book and got started. I borrowed your input about manifesting what we are and the vulnerability drawing in. Thank you again!
7:40... if my house is burning down!!! i love that line. If you would really go for the dog- you are a goooooooog hooooooman.
Legit video. Loved the content. Definitely going to implement this!
Stumbled on this channel by chance and am really glad I did. Definitely going to follow for me things.
Another thing; I never knew Sectioning your journal is a thing. I have been doing that for almost 5 years now 😂. I did it on a whim because i tend to be overly organized with things. My secontions are: Daily, Spirituality, Art, Books, Studies and Writing. They definitely help to have a section for everything and it's more organized as well.
Thank you for this video!
my 6 in 1 journal would be..
1. Brain dump
2. 3 things to be happy about today
3. Art ideas
4. fashion ideas
5. Writing ideas
6. What happened today
6 in 1 sections:
1. Self employed
2. Online Income

Incredible man . Very great idea of journal
Love the idea with sections
This is a way to be accountable to yourself in important areas. Makes too much sense, and why haven't I done this before?
I love to go back and read my old journals is great to see how my mind has evolve and change as I matured... but I have too many notebooks / a have a mini notebook/ a planner / another for YT I like the idea of having it all in one ! And it looks much neater ! Thanks for sharing Clark ‘! I will be adopting your ways of journaling .
I really needed to see this, I'm so glad it popped up on my screen that you just uploaded it. it really hit me when you was talking about the number 32,850 and wow at how accurate you really are. and talking about how others have journaled there life and leaving something behind and listening from within and basically being who you want to truly be and just everything you said you are very on point and I really enjoyed it! I am going to start journaling and see what happens. I haven't been exactly to happy here lately and I'm going to change that. thank you so much for sharing! Happy New Year! ♡
"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it."
Sharing some love with all of you, if you are reading this keep smile you are amazing🤍
, I have been so distracted listening to you, am at the beginning of the track, and is so right, we think we can quit, am watching the making of the Barbie movie. Looks so funny, cute. I am also taking some pictures 📸 with my smartphone to make a vision board.
Back to watch this again as I get ready to set up my 2022 journal! I did a lot of research and love this method the best... really enjoyed using it 2021 and I'm going to keep it up! Effortless with this method 👌
I almost pass this video up, but something told me to check it out and I'm glade I did, I'm going to try and see what happens.
Love ur videos so much
Thanks for sharing your journaling technique. I found your video in early 2021 and started journaling this way. I mentioned it today in my video to kick of 2022 and included the link to your video in the description. I'll also be giving you a shoutout in my podcast. I've really appreciated the content you share on your channel. Thank you.
Have a lovely day. Thank you so much 😊
Such Manly Journals! Mine are super girly and organized 😋
Sooo many good tips, I always get so much out of your videos/ podcasts! 🙏🏼
Hi I’m new and I’ve been journaling since I was 14 and now I’m 28 I keep all of my journals but I love your method as well. I’m happy I came across your channel lol! Love how you explained it, hopefully my boyfriend would watch you and start journaling because I think 💭 it grows your mental health physically mentally- Also I really love the freedom page & family page , I’m thinking about starting this as soon as my current journal is done!!!
Something new to add to my routines! Let's go 2021! Awesome content as usual, Clark! 🔥
You could totally do a blank journal. People would buy it because it belongs to your "brand". I'm sure you could still come up with something cool. Maybe you could do the small print in white where it looks almost invisible or maybe in some type of invisible ink you can only see in the dark or with glasses haha...
I will journal as an inspiration, not as an obligation
Clark Kegley....you are awesome.
This was just what I needed to know.. thankyou so much for such valuable contents!!
Got inspired to journaling
Your new subscriber here . I just found your channel recommended by alot of youtubers . And now I can't get over your channel . ❤️ 👍
started 2022 with this amazing video.
What do you do if you fill up a section before the end of the year? or you fill the whole journal before the end of the year? do you just start a new one?
its october 2022 and just found about this journaling methods so i think ill do a (1YEAR + 3 MONTH JOURNAL )
I like your videos Clark Keyley because you help me out by telling me to do my own journals and thank you
Love it Clark! Gonna be making my version of this same topic on my channel! Thanks for the yearly update! 👍
He made my ears really perk up.
I've tried just brain dumping but I found it too disorderly and unstructured. I've tried bullet journals but I felt like they had the opposite problem. I've tried flowery aesthetic ones and boring just straight-text ones. I've tried digital and traditional (I prefer traditional, I know that much). I've taken a hybrid method of all of the above and that's helped some. But always interested to hear new thing to try out. I might adopt your method for a while and then probably take bits I like and throw away what I don't. Probably ending up with a hybrid model of my ideas and yours.
What happened to the superman outfit this year lol! Love your videos, you simplify everything very well and this is what predominantly people are looking for i feel. Life is already convoluted enough right. You have done really well with this, please keep it going and wishing you every success for the future. Peace and Love! :) Right I'm off to get me a journal now.......
