Today was a good day; what else can I say? That rhymed! (Until I accidentally posted this first on my reflection journal instead of my studyblr! 😅)
I have been falling behind in my reflection journal entries. I think I was a bit too optimistic when I set a goal to journal every day. It's not uncommon for me to do so, but typically I journal with pen and paper rather than an online blog. Choosing to utilize my reflective journaling in the online blog format adds an extra layer of work since it requires me to use the computer and by the time I have a moment to do my journaling, I don't want my eyes on a computer screen so I can more easily sleep.
Perhaps I should go back to reflecting with pen and paper and then post those entries on my online journal as I'm able to. Any thoughts on that? Or should I simply focus on updating my reflection journal (journal-with-aura) on the days I'm able to post? Meaning, I would still do my journaling in a notebook, but on days I have the extra time to post online, I post that entry on my blog instead. Not a lot of people follow my journal on here, but for those of you who do (or would like to!), opinions are appreciated!🦄
