Sorting, Not Decorating
Emotion journaling works better when the layout helps you separate the feeling into usable parts.
Sort before you style
Give the page clear zones for what happened, what you noticed, what you need, and what you can do next.
Use color as a label
Color, stickers, and borders are useful when they identify sections. They become noise when they replace reflection space.
Feeling -> Evidence -> Need -> Next.
Images are original diary-layout mockups, not screenshots of any app UI. Use this as an ordinary paper or digital journaling layout habit.
