The new year is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to jot down some goals, lists, a few things you’re grateful for, or what you did today. A journal can help you with all of these and more.
You can use a journal as more than just a diary, although, of course, you can use one for that, too. However, it’s also a fantastic way to track your habits, log your progress on health and fitness goals, or even jot down your dreams.
No matter what purpose you have in mind, there’s probably a journal designed specifically for it. If not, you can just customize a blank one. Here are 22 journals you can use in 2022 to jot down pretty much anything.
