Pilih Waktu Tetap: Pilih waktu yang tetap setiap hari untuk menulis jurnal. Misalnya, sebelum tidur atau setelah makan siang.
Sederhana dan Langsung: Gunakan kalimat-kalimat sederhana dan langsung. Fokus pada apa yang terjadi dan bagaimana perasaan Anda tentang hal itu.
Gunakan Struktur yang Sama: Mulailah dengan tanggal, kemudian ceritakan kegiatan utama Anda hari itu, dan akhiri dengan refleksi atau perasaan Anda.
Perbanyak Kosakata Dasar: Fokus pada kata-kata dasar yang sering digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
