Daily Journaling such as Morning Pages, Habit Stacking, Gratitude Journals, Dream Journals, or Bullet Journals have been used since the dawn of civilized society.
...Ok, maybe not Bullet Journals — those are quite recent.
But today there is an entirely new approach that beginners journalers or expert productivity gurus alike can now begin to use.
Which type of journaler have you been until now?
Journaling without structure — free flowing stream of thoughts based on various ideas like Gratitude Journaling, Habit Tracking, Dream Journals, and so on.
Structured Journaling — such as Bullet Journaling, or specific specialist journal templates like the one developed by Michael Hyatt or detailed life-planners launched on Kickstarter.
If you cherish your journaling experience as much as I do, your approach has probably changed a lot over time, with various attempts at different approaches, for different purposes, and uniquely personal quirks that only you could possibly come up with.
The most beautiful approaches to journaling has come from the Bullet Journal community. The creative and colourful artistic innovation is awesome.
I used Bullet Journaling for over a year. I've kept journals in general since my mid-teens. Mind-maps, scribbles, to-do lists, personal reflections, morning pages with dream diary entries.
In the 2000s I published The 7 Steps of Organizing, The Life Direction Clarifier, The Missing Principles Handbook, InstaTime Natural Time Management, and a few other titles.
In my professional career since then I managed projects, teams, departments, product launches, research data, process development, and more.
Today, I am self-publishing a dual approach to Journaling that combines lessons earned in over 20 years of experimentation.
I believe this will be revolutionary in the journaling community and then transform the world of business management. But one thing at a time.
Dual Journaling involves two very specific and yes, structured approaches to journaling.
Atomic Journaling narrows your mental focus with precision for advanced productivity.
Levity Journaling expands your emotional horizons for the deepest self reflection.
Neither approach uses old-fashioned approaches common to productivity or time management, such as weekly to-do lists, or fantasy wishlists of long-term goals. We both know those things are rarely maintained and generally lead to disappointment or distraction.
Dual Journaling using Atomic Journals and Levity Journals takes a uniquely different approach.
The first obvious difference is separating the topics of productivity and self-reflection.
Admittedly, that is a gross over-simplification, as both are intimately involved in both journals, so allow me to be clear.
The Atomic Journal breaks down your most ambitious projects into a precise process for learning, creating, and monitoring. The structure used is so natural to human thought that you will feel more at home with managing your progress despite juggling complexity.
The Levity Journal is entirely focused on your personal life experience in pursuit of an uplifting emotional lightness of being beyond any of the humdrum of normal life we often get caught up in.
Let's dig a little deeper and see how these approaches compare all other methods of journaling.
Using a physical journal for productivity by assigning goals to a schedule is dead wrong.
Interruptions happen. Days get missed. Tasks are under-estimated.
Priority goals get mixed with everything else.
This leaves little room for spontaneity which reduces the natural absorption we should feel when free to focus on creative and innovative work.
All this means that tasks have to be re-assigned to future dates, and then the Weekly Lists compound into endlessly long disorganized assortments of mixed up chores, personal goals, professional projects, special events, and buried dreams. Let's move past that approach for good.
When you keep an Atomic Journal you'll only include your most meaningful ambitious aspirations. This gives you a uniquely clear mental space for making progress.
What's more, your Atomic Journal maintains a cadence that is not time dependent. There are no dates. No appointments. Instead, you keep track of progress, identify what needs to be done next, and get to it precisely when it is the right time. Natural, organic, tidy, organized.
With Levity Journaling, we combine such things as habit tracking, gratitude journaling, morning pages for self-reflection, personal goal setting (without listing long goal overwhelming goal lists) and life reviews.
The format of the newly released Levity Journal helps keep you mindful of progress, committed to your needs, with growing awareness of factors that lead you to personal satisfaction across all categories of life.
The Levity Journal ebbs and flows through a series of alternating structured page formats designed to compound your personal development for levity.
It offers structure to help guide your personal reflection, while giving you ample freedom to be creative.
The dual-journaling system is available in printed journals available here for the Atomic Journal and here for the Levity Journal.
Order both today and transform your approach to journaling as well as your speed of success and satisfaction with accelerated progress in all areas.
Levity Journaling expands your emotional awareness for liberation. Helps you find harmony through your Inner Game.
