Ah, the classic question—why should we write in a journal every day? It’s like asking why we should brush our teeth or eat our veggies. Sure, you could skip it, but you might end up with a few regrets—a mouth full of cavities and possibly a diary full of cobwebs.

First off, let’s talk about the mental decluttering aspect. Imagine your brain as a crowded closet. Every day, fresh thoughts, fears, and bright ideas (like that million-dollar concept for self-ironing clothes) pile up, creating a chaotic mess. Journaling is like hiring a super-organised Marie Kondo to sort through that clutter. You’ll feel lighter, more focused, and you might just spark some joy along the way!

Next, writing in a journal is like talking to your best friend who never interrupts and always gives you the last word. It’s an opportunity to express yourself without the fear of being judged—unless your journal starts rolling its eyes, in which case, you might want to tone down the self-criticism.
