1 New Year Resolution I Want to Keep – How to Start Journaling

My 2023 New Year Resolution – Why I Am Starting Journaling & Its Benefits

I remember keeping a journal when I was little. My dad used to buy diaries from the local shop. They had colorful plastic covers and pages for every day – like daily planners. It had to be when I was in Grade 5 or so.

Somehow, I discontinued keeping journals since then, but not I am coming back to this after a few decades. I am into pens, notebooks, and planners and after reading about the many benefits of regular journaling, I decided to give it a try starting in 2023.

Daily writing practice can be enormously helpful in terms of clarifying your thoughts and goals. It is our nature to overthink things and get caught in a spiral of thoughts going nowhere. Writing regularly breaks this pattern by allowing us to externalize our thoughts and get some distance from them.

In addition, a daily writing habit can be a great source of inspiration and creativity. Research shows that journaling regularly can boost the immune system, help injuries heal faster, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide so many more benefits.

Also, most successful and famous people, throughout the wheel of time, have one thing common – they all write daily or do some sort of journaling.

My main challenge will be to continue writing and not giving up on journaling after a few months or weeks. But I am serious about keeping it going and determined to stay on my path to daily journaling.

I hope to write and create more videos on How to Journal and its benefits. Here is the first video I already created: How to Start Journaling

Buying The Cheapest Possible Planner on Amazon | 2022 Pocket Small Daily Weekly Planner by Teamcan

What’s The Cheapest Planner on Amazon You can Buy?

I just did a review of the popular Moleskine 12 Month Weekly Planner 2022 last week and since then Ive been thinking of what the cheapest planner you can possibly buy on Amazon is.

After searching through Amazon, I came across a brand I’d never heard of called Eteamcan. They offer a Classic 12 Month pocket planner that is small and easy to carry. So, I wanted to try and see whether buying this would be a waste of money or would work just fine.

Eteamcan’s small (4.2" X 3"), lightweight weekly planner is good for everyday use and even when you are travelling. According to the manufacturer, the paper is high-quality, smooth Daolin Paper and the front and back cover are made of black fabric mixed material.

I was expecting a poor-quality notebook, but I have to say that this cheap notebook is not bad at all and exceeded my expectations. Each page has 4 days on one side and 3 days on the other side. There is a lot of information provided in the beginning of the notebook, such as time zones, holidays, necessary metric charts, a calorie chart, a clothing size chart, etc., but the problem is they are so small that it is hard to read. I brought them close to my eyes and couldn’t figure out what’s there.

The paper quality is acceptable and the ink didn’t bleed through when I wrote with my pen. Overall, I would say it’s not a waste of $10 and good enough for everyday uses as a pocket notebook.
