    on keeping a journal.



    hej, something i really enjoy is to write. i think the method i use is called microjournaling. you just write one or a few sentences. i use DayOne. it’s by far the best journaling app i’ve ever used (and i’ve used loads...)


    sometimes it takes two minutes and sometimes it takes 30 minutes depending on my mood, what’s happening that day and how much time i have. but just one sentence is enough for me to have accomplished the goal for the day. with this mindset it makes it much easier to keep up the habit. most of the times, one sentence becomes two, three and four.











    the thing with journaling is that i feel really good after writing. i feel lighter when i pour my thoughts on a paper or a screen. it helps me to organize my thoughts and feelings, and i don’t want good ideas or inspiring thoughts to disappear in an instant. so reflecting is definitely an emotional outlet for me and it helps me when i write songs. i get to pay my focus inwards.


    here's what you can do:

    • you can do a ”check-in" - how are you feeling right now? why are feeling this?

    • you can ventilate your feelings - write about what upsets you and why it upsets yo

    • you can improve your everyday life by reflecting about your good or bad habits

    • you can keep a gratitude journal - truly recommend this

    • you can keep yourself organized by writing tasks, shortterm or longterm goals, inspiration, lyrics, poems, this blog post :)

    • you can keep a record of things you love to do

    • you can take a brain dump if you’re feeling overloaded - you don’t have to keep them in your mind

    i'm back blogging



    i'm finally back here on this plattform and i'm happy to start blogging again from another computer. my old computer was really tired and ready to break anytime soon, so i decided to get a smaller computer which is more suitable for traveling and songwriting. it's really great how quiet this laptop is when i compare it to the old one.


    as the structure geek i am, i also downloaded Day One which is an app for journaling and keeping lists and notes. i have another app for journaling but i feel like day one is one straw sharper and i can really enjoy my own private digital space. everything is not meant to be shared online and i really love writing and this will help me write more lyrics and music. i am also not a perfect person. i have flaws and weaknesses like any other person and i feel writing about improvements is a thing that i should do private.


    on another note, my music making is continuing and i am happy with the songs i release right now, especially the videos, and i really like the stories behind the lyrics. and how about archery? not so much i'm sad to say. i really like archery and i miss it really much but under these circumstances i don't have too much time to go there. i don't want to take the bus and when i'm suppose to take the bike it rains.. i hope to be there soon though.


    take care and have a nice day!
