Issue #010 of Start Select Reset is actually going to include a long essay about journaling and include the phrase “Jungian Psychotechnology” lol.

Good luck with the free trial! For me I was instantly sold on it – but I did have an existing practice to port over and consolidate into it.

Best approach is to just make time for it every single day, in the mornings.

Check out the two posts on writing a diary:

I’ve been told I should start keeping a mental health journal but I’ve really started to resent typing on my stupid phone, so the Mac app was a draw. And then I discovered it works on the web and you don’t need a stupid app! Wow!

So yeah, sold for a trial, while I see if I can actually do this journaling thing. (writing for myself as opposed to an audience is… unusual.)
