Answering the 4 Biggest Questions I Get About Journaling from Young Online Entrepreneurs

Most people journal ineffectively—or worse, they never start. They waste time writing random thoughts without purpose and quit when they don’t see results.

I’ve tested nearly every journaling method and developed high-performance journaling systems that have helped me:

✅ 4X my productivity 🚀

✅ Eliminate stress & mental clutter 🧠

✅ Make better, faster business decisions 💡

✅ Stay consistent & focused on what grows my business 💰

I've also helped dozens of online entrepreneurs do the same.

You might want to listen to me if you’re an online entrepreneur making four figures per month and want to scale faster by improving your mental performance through journaling.

1. "How Do I Start Journaling?"

Here’s how to start journaling like a high-level entrepreneur in 4 easy steps:

1. Choose Your Medium 📖📱

A journaling medium is how you record your thoughts. Journaling doesn’t have to be pen and paper. Use a format that fits your workflow:

✅ Google Docs or Notion for organized digital journaling

✅ Voice memos if you think better by talking (even better, record a video of yourself to improve your content creation skills)

✅ Mind maps for visual brainstorming

✅ Traditional notebook if you prefer writing by hand

The key? Pick the format that you’ll stick with. These are just some examples; there are dozens of other journaling mediums.

2. Define Your “Why” 🎯

You won’t stay consistent or get the desired results if you don't know why you're journaling. Ask yourself:

• Do I want to clear mental clutter?

• Do I need to make better business decisions?

• Am I trying to stay focused and avoid distractions?

Then, decide on a technique that matches your goal (e.g., stream-of-consciousness journaling for clarity, a structured journaling framework for solving business problems, Journaling prompts for targeted insights, etc.).

3. Choose a Technique 🛠️

Journaling isn’t just writing random thoughts. Use a structured approach:

🔹 Prompt-Based Journaling – Answer guided questions like: What’s my biggest challenge today?

🔹 Framework-Based Journaling – Use decision-making, problem-solving, or goal-setting frameworks.

You can also use a protocol or other journaling systems.

4. Write With Maximum Detail 📝

✅ Be specific. Instead of “I had a bad day,” write, “I lost focus today because I kept checking my phone.”

✅ Be honest. The more raw and unfiltered your writing, the more insights you’ll gain.

✅ Be reflective. Ask: What can I learn from this? What’s my next step?

Journaling isn’t just a habit—it’s a high-performance tool for entrepreneurs. Start small, follow these steps, and watch how your clarity, focus, and execution improve. 🚀

--------------------

2. What Should I Journal On?

What you journal on depends on:

• Your goals (mental clarity, problem-solving, better decision-making, etc.).

• Your struggles (stress, time management, focus, etc.).

• Your preferences (writing, video, voice memos, drawing, etc.).

For example:

✅ For mental health & trauma healing → Use paper or drawing to reflect and process emotions.

✅ For time management → Journal about where you’re wasting time and how to fix it.

✅ For tracking habits & frameworks → Create a Notion template for your daily protocol.

Journaling should serve a purpose, not just be another task on your to-do list.

---------------------

3. How Will Journaling Make Me More Money?

Journaling won’t directly put money in your pocket (unless you sell a journaling-related product or service). But it will increase your mental performance, increase your productive work output, and make you much more money. It will also act as a defensive tool, helping you defend against loss and foresee loss.

For example:

✅ Faster decision-making = Less hesitation, more execution.

✅ Better focus = More deep work, fewer distractions.

✅ Stronger emotional control = No more making dumb decisions based on stress or fear.

✅ Time efficiency = You work on high-impact tasks instead of busy work.

Most entrepreneurs are held back by mental clutter, indecision, and a lack of focus. Journaling eliminates these barriers, allowing entrepreneurs to think clearer, work smarter, and make more money.

4. What’s a Good Journaling Routine to Start With?

A simple and highly effective journaling routine for online entrepreneurs:

📝 Stream-of-Consciousness Journaling – Write for 5-10 minutes to clear your mind.

🙏 Gratitude Journaling – List 3 things you’re grateful for to shift into a positive mindset.

📅 Daily Reflection – Review your day and journal about:

• Mistakes (why they happened, how to fix/prevent them).

• Wins (what went well and why).

• Emotional reactions (why they happened, what you learned).

-----

This routine helps you improve decision-making, avoid repeating mistakes, and stay focused on growth.
