Stopped forcing daily entries and my journaling became fun again.
Letting go of the pressure made me actually want to use it.

Oh man, "letting go of the pressure" is the whole key right there. I have a graveyard of beautiful notebooks with exactly two days filled out because I tried to make it a perfect daily habit. Turns out I only have deep thoughts like, twice a month. Making myself write daily just made me feel guilty for having boring days.

Tbh I used to think it had to be daily too.

Right? Who decided journals need daily entries anyway. @beth_baker69 is totally right about the guilt. My brain on a Tuesday is just "work sucked, ate cereal." Forcing myself to write that down feels pointless. Save the pages for when you actually have something to say. Otherwise it's just a chore.
