There's a difference between keeping a diary and keeping a journal. With a diary, you make daily entries. With a journal, you make regular entries-- several times a week, every week, or every other week. There's a new kind of journaling, too, a One-Word journal. At the end of the day, you think of words that describe the day: rushed, anxious, hopeful, etc. Then you pick the one word that describes you best and write it on the calendar or in a small notebook. Over time, these words describe your journey.
