I don't do a whole lot of the kind of long-form journaling most people are taking about here, but I've been keeping a pair of bullet journals for several years now, one for home and one for work.

The home one helps me keep track of where I'm spending my time, and of habits I'm trying to acquire, so I can make adjustments when things get out of balance. It's also a good place to keep notes on things I'm studying or working on.

The work journal is where I log what I'm working on each day; it's also where I plan, brainstorm, solve problems, and record solutions. I've found it to be especially effective when I'm blocked/stumped/tired: I open the journal, and take stock of what I know and what I can do about. It's also a great place to record ideas for later.

I expect to continue doing this indefinitely.
