Learning hack of the day: Keep A Journal

Keep a journal. Journals are writing practice, and writing is a skill needed for so many of today's courses and career paths. A diary is about what you did today. A journal can focus on today, a memory or on future hopes. It is more about feelings and reflections than about today's day. There are dozens of ways a journal can help us in our schooling and in our careers. I'll describe some of those in upcoming blogs. For now, let's get in the practice of writing every day. Think of it as being like piano practice or daily exercise. Build those writing muscles.
