New here? Read the story so far!
Journaling is about getting organised…
It is NO secret that Journaling is (also) about getting organised.
Especially the guided-freestyle approach which - to “newbies” - looks like a better to-do-list.
But, hey, this is business, so we are already organised!
We are professionals, aren’t we??
… and contains several “hidden” effectiveness nuggets
What seems to be more secret (still), what you rarely get told is that Business Journaling is:
an overview multi-”tool”
a cognitive-capacity unleasher
a busyness debunker
Business Journaling is an overview multitool
Take a pen and a piece of paper. Start externalizing what is in your head.
This is like rubber duck debugging, but silent. Neither a rubber duck nor talking is needed! ;-)
You just need yourself, pen and paper and a few minutes of your precious time.
Business Journaling unleashes cognitive capacity
With “small but effective” concepts like:
colorful or symbolic markers
and eventually a monthly log and an index page
… you win mental capacity.
With Business Journaling you win headspace for the “real” thinking and the joyful parts at work.
Business Journaling debunks the busy-ness trap
You rarely get told that busy-ess is a trap. Let’s debunk this myth of “successful people are always busy” today!
You can have it both:
effectiveness i.e. getting the RIGHT stuff done...
… and having more time for the things that matter to you
One path to defuse this busyness trap is:
reconnecting to your values (or: your why)
and then act accordingly.
Business Journaling supports you with (seemingly) small - but intentional - tools to accommodate your whole life and to walk YOUR path.
‘Where to start and How to keep going‘ describes a possible approach to finding your why. This is the base for prioritizing your work, your tasks, according to value(s).
Stay tuned for the next piece to learn why Business Journaling can (and will) be hard at times.
At the same time Business Journaling can be your private coach and secret sparring partner. Journaling can be your secret helper on the quest to say “no” more often and say “yes” to more of what matters to YOU.
