Dang, I really empathize with this. I’m sure you’ve exhausted through a bunch of journals, but one journal I’d check out to see if it works for you if you haven’t already is “BestSelf.” It helps outline your goals and break them down into smaller achievable chunks. I apologize in advance if this doesn’t help because I recognize you don’t seem to have much luck with journals, but if you haven’t heard of that one, I’d check it out. When it comes to coming up with goals, I found that difficult too. Even this journal challenges me at that, but it helped me brain storm. I think trying to start generic and vague, then dive deeper into my goals seems to help me. I also think the key to accomplishing our goals is small wins consistently every day. Also, something new I’ve been trying is to try and find activities that can double dip progress towards my goals. Two smaller goals I’ve had is to stay positive and improve my penmanship. I’ve decided to write one positive affirmation 15-25 times over and over again. For example, a sentence I might write is “I will get a job and become successful.” [kinda corny ~ I know] I’d write that sentence at least 15 times in my smaller hand journal. This helps me stay positive when I’m down, and hopefully improves my penmanship ever so slightly. If I wanted to improve my penmanship fast or positive mindset there are probably better ways to do that; however, I find that I end up falling off from the bigger activities that might be more effective. To be honest, I’m still trying to find what strategies work for me. I think we all kind of need to just experiment and find what works best for us. No clue if this is of any help to you, but I hope there’s something of use. Good luck. You got this and all your goals will be achieved and realized.
