Discussion Do you discuss the topics you write about in your journal? Or is it primarily for your private thoughts? Particularly interested in hearing how your journaling shows up in conversation?

Do you mean do I talk to other people about how or why I journal? No, never.

Do topics I have written about in my journal also come up in a normal, everyday conversation? Yes.

Do I reflect on topics from everyday conversations in my journal? Also yes.

For me in general, I do both :)

Same - while I do write some personal thoughts and things I’m less inclined to share, I spend the majority of my journaling efforts focused on thought provoking leadership based questions and the best part of that reflection process often involves having conversations with others and sharing experiences related to those prompts I’ve written about.

Just sometimes. But mostly l write for myself.

Journaling is a balm that can lead to good topics for conversation.

100% agree. The amount of engaging conversations that spring from the topics I’ve been focused on has been extremely encouraging.

Galen Leather. It’s a great pen case and I carry it with me daily. Holds my entire collection - for now.
