Why Everyone Should Write a Journal and Never Stop

Story-time with my grandfather was always an interesting tale of life growing up in Brooklyn during the 1910s and '20s. He’d tell of going over to the ballpark to watch the Yankees or of his time spent as a shoe salesman.

Before we begin, this isn’t about sitting down and writing in a diary to talk trash about the mean girl in math class. This is about a measured and specific approach to daily writing that will improve your own life along the way. It’s worked for centuries for some of the most important historical figures who’ve ever walked the planet:

• Abraham Lincoln
• Benjamin Franklin
• Winston Churchill
• Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Maya Angelou
• Oprah Winfrey

Journaling worked for this collection of super-fine scholars and historically phenomenal people, so it’s very much well-positioned to work for you, too. And none of the above who journaled would ever have their relevance called into question because they kept a “diary” of gossip. So, essentially, you no longer have an excuse.
