I see most people here use apps for that. I think the crucial part of it is doing it with pen and paper. For me the biggest perks come from slowing down and taking a break from technology. Your computer or your phone are distraction machines.

I just use journaling as a way to converse with my brain, complain about what's difficult and remind myself what's important to me. Sometimes I analyze things that happened or will happen.

Helps when I'm overwhelmed.
