How I Format Journal Entries

I've been journaling since elementary school, so here is my tried and true way of formatting journal entries. So we're gonna write the full date. So for today, it'll be June 27, 2026. Boom. Then on the other side, we're gonna write the time. 3:09 PM. Like so. If there's a special event happening, I will put it at the very top and I'll be like, so and so's birthday. Because I think that can be fun to mark. Then let's do a little journal entry. Blah, the weather is so nice. Heart. When I'm done with the journal entry, I'll draw a little heart to close it off. Like this. Now let's say I want to continue writing in my journal, I'll write down the time. I don't need to write the date again. I'll just write down the time. 3:10 PM. And then I'll continue writing. And then when I'm done with that, I'll close it up with a heart. And that's it. That's the whole journal entry method. If I have anything I want to tape in my journal, I'll just tape it in. I'll write around it, it's really no pressure, whatever. If I forget to write a heart, it's fine. And that's it. It's really simple, it's really straightforward.
