I usually prefer to journal at the end of the day. It helps me to process my day and clear my head so I can sleep better

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

Love that. While I don't write in my journal at night, I do have a closing down routine that does something similar.

@madrahal 26 дней назад

I’ve been journaling for the last forever. I got too into the pens and books and too concerned with all the medium and not enough with the actual DOING, ie putting stuff down. Now I just use a squared hilroy spiral bound notebook with 200 or so pages, a blue bic, a ruler and a green and red pen from whatever staples had available. I number the pages, make a TOC and away we go!

@xfilion 12 дней назад

I started on a 5-Minute Journal. A single page that's directed with simple questions. No pressure.

@Carl_Pullein 12 дней назад

Another great way to get started 🙂

@mel3734 11 дней назад

Thank you for this - I could not count the number of journaling videos I have watched, journal prompts, journal types - etc. This was simple and practical, and resonated. I appreciate your work!

@Carl_Pullein 11 дней назад

Thank you, Mel. It's true, this is your journal and you can structure it, (or not) as you wish. I like to experiment with different ways to write my journal when I start a new one.

@sistergoldenhair0727 25 дней назад

Newbie! I’ve been daily journaling since 1979! But what truly enhanced my experience was adding a leather notebook cover and using fountain pens since 2019 and Stalogy or Sterling Ink 520 page notebooks. Paper makes all the difference.

@Carl_Pullein 25 дней назад

That's so true. Your journal is a special book and you want to make it joyful to write in.

@michaelpostell4053 27 дней назад

Carl, I journal at night, reflecting on the day and getting ready for tomorrow. I also put the time I write my journal. And then I comment on the weather. :) I like your book, too. A nice gathering of all your wisdom on being productive.

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

Thank you for sharing that, Michael. I know many people can write in their journals at night. For beginners it can be difficult to get consistent with night-time journaling.

@neitaoutdoors4278 26 дней назад

Coincidentally, I clicked on this video right after I had finished journaling this morning! Great tips, thank you. Jotting notes on the weather is exactly how I got started. I love to sit outdoors first thing in the morning, so I then progressed to nature observations. The first time I ranted about something that aggravated me the day before is when I learned the power of journaling. Actually writing down words helped me clarify my thoughts, come up with a solution, and see the situation with a calmer perspective. And yes, I use a favorite (hardback) notebook and pen (purple ink!)

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

Fantastic! So true about having a good rant. It always helps and never upsets anyone. 🙂

@periteu 27 дней назад

I like "What learnings did I have today?" But i love doing it at 6:30 pm, or after work

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

That works if you find it natural to write in the evening.

@smp24298 22 дня назад

I started journaling about 6 months, when I got back into collecting fountain pens, after a 20 year hiatus. Time didn't stop me from collecting both pens and paper over the years, and it must be an inner desire to write. In any case I've started to journal or write a dairy. I'm not sure sure which it is, but putting pen to paper is relaxing and at times, a shear joy. BTW I've gone back to using fountain pens exclusively. Nothing really expensive, although, my older ones like Parker, Schaeffer, Esterbrook, and Pilot are no longer low cost. Love your hints in the video.

@Carl_Pullein 22 дня назад

Love that. So true about writing being relaxing. I also find it so.

@LewisLittle66 26 дней назад

Journalling in the evening is part of my daily routine and I rarely miss a day. I like it as a winding-down half-hour, with screens turned off before I go to bed. In the morning, I'm in my planner, sorting my tasks for the day. I write with a fountain pen too (TWSBI Eco is my favourite) and Clairfontaine paper (but not always Rhodia, I'm currently using CF's own brand).

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

I like that. (I confess there have been times when I have sat down at the end of the day to write.)

@TheRealMoccaman 27 дней назад

This is so true, there is nothing more valuable than your own thoughts. So don't skimp on the journal and the pen. Your thoughts deserve only the best. Thanks for sharing, Carl!

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

Absolutely. Compelte agree with you.

@loumacuser 27 дней назад

Definitely a powerful outcome when we journal daily. I can say that when I stopped there was something missing and I wasn’t as effective as when journaling. It really helps offload stuff and also self reflect. Brilliant video Carl. I like your folio

@video_game_history 27 дней назад

I have been journaling for 4 years now and journaling has become an integral part of my everyday life. Thank you so much for sharing your passion for journaling with us.

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

Thank you. 🙏

This is so helpful I’ve been wanting to do this all year and this is a great tip to start

@Carl_Pullein 9 дней назад

Glad to have been able to help, Jon.

@Kenaroni 25 дней назад

Thanks, Carl. I have a pocket notebook that I used to keep notes in during my desk job 12 years ago. I love looking back at those old notes, and I'm thinking of starting up again, also to improve my handwriting, which has definitely declined since I stopped. The only thing I’d miss is the ability to search for specific words or topics I’ve written about in the past. I really love having that feature. But if my handwriting improves, maybe I could quickly scan each day’s text and save it to a device as a backup. Text scanning has come a long way in the last couple of years.

@Carl_Pullein 25 дней назад

Hahaha my handwriting became worse after spending five years only writing on screens with styluses and Apple Pencil. Switching back to using a fountain pen helped me to get my handwriting back to something readable.

@prettyme4387 27 дней назад

I've been journalling since I was a teenager😇😂It's a great activity and really helps sort out one's thoughts.

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

That's so true. A great way to work through your thoughts and ideas.

@garywilson4579 27 дней назад

I love "analogue" journaling, been doing so for a long time now, well over 10 years - it is such as therapeutic way to start the day, ideas formulate, issues resolve themselves, colleagues get annihilated without the need for HR ;) . rants get ranted, I love it. Deffo going to check out that notebook cover - I have an A5 one currently, always journaled A5 style and never considered B5 before... I like the idea of more real estate (and an excuse to try out yet another notebook manufacturer!). Thanks Carl, great video.

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

Thank you, Gary. Galen Leather do A5 folios too. They also carry the Tomae River paper too.

@YuSim-hl3ww 21 день назад

journal in the morning and night. release my clutter mind

@Carl_Pullein 21 день назад

Hahaha Me too! It's very nice to write everything down and let your mind rest.

@chelseag3365 16 дней назад

I've watched a lot of videos on journaling over the years and I have not been able to make it feel less awkward, or less like someone is reading over my shoulder, so my journaling bouts are always short lived. This is the only video I've seen where you are encouraged to be shallow in your writing (at least to start out), and I find this point of view very freeing. Thank you for the insights.

@Carl_Pullein 16 дней назад

You're very welcome. It's always your journal and a special place for you. Start small and "shallow", you'll soon find yourself opening up and writing deeper thoughts.

@DrJDGood 20 дней назад

I love the Tony Benn reference. He is one of my heroes and was my local MP (Chesterfield) . A genuinely lovely guy and the diaries are fantastic.

@Carl_Pullein 20 дней назад

He was one of those special politicians who followed his convictions and not opinion polls. While I disagreed with him on many things politically, I always respected his position. (and of course we would never have seen Concorde fly without him)

@vishal80 21 день назад

Thank you 😀.. I got a start 😅

@Carl_Pullein 21 день назад

Excellent. Enjoy the journey. 🙂

@jamesrm9235 26 дней назад

This video came at the right time as I was looking for another perspective on morning journaling. I recently started it and am gradually forming a habit. Thank you, Carl! Keep up the fantastic content.

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

Thank you, James. Glad you liked the video. 🙏

@Richard_Barnes 24 дня назад

I started going mad on journalling back in 2010 just because I wanted to use a fountain pen (FP). That was the only reason I started to write. Now I have a collection of FP's of all prices; loads of notebooks and I just write whatever the hell I want to. It would all be rubbish to anyone else but to me it's a mind clearance if something is worrying me.....write it down....get it out of your head and on paper. This point is critical if you're trying to sleep with worrying thoughts. Just get a notepad, write it down and deal with it later. I journal all day long and keep a food diary and all sorts of randomness in my notebooks 😆 Traveler's Notebooks; William Hannah; Paper Republic... I use and love them all. I fell out with my MB 149 but that's another story. 👍🏻😄 Nuria @ GoodINKPressions is awesome. I've been using her books for a long time. Great choice.

@Carl_Pullein 24 дня назад

I can relate to your to your story so much, Richard. Thank you for sharing it with us.

@ChrisCarries_EDC 5 дней назад

To pronounce Leuchtturm: - it's 2 words put together: "Leucht" and "Turm" - Leucht like "oik" - Turm like "term" (although in German you'd use more of a "ooh" sound) - so it's pronounced "Loik-term" It means, literally, "light tower" - i.e. lighthouse 🙂

@edmcgugan2079 26 дней назад

Good video sir. Have enjoyed making my own A5 journal booklets - was gifted a lot of good quality paper. Perfect fit for my Lochby cover. Also love my Platinum Preppy fountain pen. Writes way too well for less than $10. All of this lets me think more clearly on paper.

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

There is something special about writing with a favourite pen. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

@maikeru86 26 дней назад

Oooh! Blackwing are very expensive pencils in Poland :( Pity, cause so good quality ;) It's a premium product.

Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn (3 April 1925 - 14 March 2014), known between 1960 and 1963 as The Viscount Stansgate, was a British Labour Party politician and political activist who served as a Cabinet minister in the 1960s and 1970s.

@Carl_Pullein 24 дня назад

Yes. I never agreed with his more left-wing politics, but he was a man of principle. Something politicians of all sides lack these days, sadly.

@mikedhart 20 дней назад

Hi Carl, Do you write your plans for the day in the journal? Does this replace your daily plan?

@Carl_Pullein 20 дней назад

Not usually. I will if I have a particularly busy day. It helps me to prioritise and structure the day.

@geoffreyagaskins302 27 дней назад

Journaling for saying horrible things about your colleagues … 😂😂😂

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

I have to confess, I have done it in the past LOL

@YuSim-hl3ww 21 день назад

same here

@sayalitate-tl4vj 15 дней назад

Why u started using writing on notebook instead of digital journaling ?

@Carl_Pullein 15 дней назад

It feels better and more intimate, and paper has been around for hundreds of years and will still be around in hundreds of years to come. Not confident digital formats will be.

@maikeru86 26 дней назад

Oh, you have Leuchtturm1917 already 😅 I thought that in Korea not possible to find. Are you trying MD Midori paper? Japan. So, also far east ;)

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

I think Leuchturm1917 have been in Korea for a while. The B5 notebooks are hard to come by, though.

@sarvanm826 26 дней назад

Nice, what fountain pen is that 4:00

@Carl_Pullein 26 дней назад

That's my MontBlanc 149 - a gift from my wife for publishing my book 🙂

@timbushell8640 25 дней назад

cool... but then you are 10N further north. B sizes... versus A... given when I was at school, the A and B hadn't really landed, except for drawing paper at school. And cursive of course...

@Carl_Pullein 25 дней назад

B5 sizes are notoriously tricky to find, no matter where you are. Fortunately, Korea sells the Mnemosyne B5 notebooks, but I have to order my journals from abroad.

@loumacuser 27 дней назад

@Carl_Pullein 27 дней назад

That's so true. When I don't journal--even if it's just a day or two--I always feel that sense that something important is missing.
