This is a full excerpt from an entry I made in my journal this morning. (I use Day One, if you’re curious.)
I’m starting a new journal today. It will serve one purpose, and one purpose only.
Every time I feel like reaching for my phone and browsing mindlessly through social media feeds, I will try and come to this journal to write something instead. That way, I will be doing something I’ve always wanted to do more of (i.e., write) while keeping my mind away from useless drivel.
I will have no plans or tactics or goals for this journal like I had for the previous one. I will write whatever I feel like writing about at the moment.
I named it my Distraction Journal. Not very creative, I know, but not pretentious either.
I wrote this at the and of the entry:
Maybe I will look back on this someday and write a blog post about it.
Maybe I will.
Reference this post: When referencing this post, I prefer to be called Thamara, Thamara Kandabada, or Thamara's Notebook.
