I use mine to freewrite. Just mental dump everything and anything that comes into my mind for three pages. It’s cathartic and often comes up with nuggets of useful information I didn’t know I was burying.
Oh hell no! Because it’s stream of conscious it’s very, very personal 😂
But whatcha gotta do is set a fixed goal (time or pages - I recommend pages) and then write down everything that comes to mind without judgement or fear. Sometimes, when I’m having a dark day, the first page is just me complaining and moaning. But for three pages? It’s hard for the brain to get stuck in that rut for so long so it starts exploring solutions, options, or simply other things.
Give it a go! Don’t stop writing for three pages, don’t worry about quality, reader, or anything! Just write whatever comes into your brain. Like meditation it takes practice but is well worth the results (imo).
Here’s an article for writers that I found helpful for my journaling. I don’t do it creatively, I just write what comes to my mind about life and the day ahead and the day finished.

Can you give an example by just doing a journal entry here so I can get a feel for it.
