How to Start a Morning Journaling Habit That Sticks

No one said you’ve got to be Kafka or something to take up writing as an everyday ritual. That’s a practice all of us can benefit from, and more often than not, it’s not about eloquence or brilliance, but about creating a space on paper that catches whatever slips from thought into form. A journal won’t judge you for being repetitive or vague. You wake up, write something down, and that’s the whole deal. There’s no need for a plot or correct punctuation. Once you’ve started, it’ll probably feel like clutter, like tossing all the receipts out of your bag at once. Later, maybe much later, you’ll read your entries back and it won’t feel like trash at all. You’ll notice that your morning journal has become a track record of how you paid attention. That’s how a morning journaling habit begins. That’s how it grows teeth.
