The transformative power of keeping a daily journal

July 31, 20255:00 AM ET, By Marielle Segarra

Writer Suleika Jaouad has been keeping a journal for as long as she could hold a pen. It got her through her battle with leukemia at age 22, life after treatment and then the pandemic.

But at a certain point, “I was starting to get bored of the sound of my own voice and grievances,” she says.

So she began reading the diaries and journals of her favorite writers for inspiration: Isabelle Eberhardt, Audre Lorde, Sylvia Plath and Susan Sontag.

Jaouad would pick a passage at random to read before journaling and found it had a “kaleidoscopic effect” on her writing, she says. It allowed the “light to fall differently,” changing her perspective and creating new ways of thinking.

She expands on this approach to journaling in her latest book, The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life, published this spring. It’s a collection of essays and writing prompts from 100 writers and artists, including poet and essayist Hanif Abdurraqib, writer and director Lena Dunham and illustrator Oliver Jeffers.

Work this weekend was rough, and I ended up not setting up my computer/tablet for art stuff today, but I did draw a silly comic in my journal!!

I'm trying to make this final page last so I can start a new journal fresh in March!!

I want 2025 to be a year of creativity for me. With me leaving big social media behind. I figured the fediverse would be a great platform to share my progress throughout the year as I slowly learn how to model!

It's been a slow journey so far but enjoying the small bits I've been able to learn in the first few weeks of the year!

This is a brilliant way to set expectations on a tricky question:

“That’s a great question I don’t think I can warrant with a great answer.”

In the interests of refining my workflow for 2025, I’ve been experimenting with a new #miro board and #slack lists to align my mid-to-long term (quarterly) goals with short term (daily or weekly) actions.

I like how I can simply visualise goals in a creative Miro space and organise the Slack actions in a shared space for quick and convenient collaboration.

It’s early days which I’ll be clearing up next week then I’ll share the model for others to try.
