I only journal if I'm undergoing a lot of changes professionally (public blog) or personally (private journal), mostly by externalized factors as a form of reflection/processing.

Sometimes I reflect a lot other times I don't. Not really any consistency to it - it's a done by needs basis

Helps me look at myself from a third person perspective - as if a friend were commenting on things I'm going through

It has improved my life - and help me look at things more logically especially if I'm in the weeds of things
