Holy shit. So many DayTimer books that were completely empty. I started telling my mom not to buy them once I hit high school. I knew they would just be carried around for the year, and then thrown out never having had a single note recorded in them.
It’s not that I can’t journal, it’s that journaling isn’t part of my routine. And introducing new things into my routine is a Herculean feat. My doctor recently added a medication that I’m supposed to only take while I’m eating dinner… After 20 years of taking all my daily meds in the morning while I brush my teeth… I can tell you I’m missing at least half my doses.
Queue neurotypicals saying “have you tried using a planner?”

Did you try journaling though? 🤔

I was joking, just to be sure.
The absolute worst part is that planners really do work, but hot damn is it hard to use them.
Aw shit my planner is upstairs. Oh well.
Or “just write it down”
I find the writing down part is easy, looking at it again in the future, now that’s something else.
