My first journal - My First Journal
I'd always seen journaling on social media and it really caught my attention, but I wasn't keen on getting started. I'm very detail-oriented, and I was afraid of investing time in something that wouldn't be useful to me on a daily basis. But after taking a time management course, I realized that a journal could be just what I needed: a flexible, personalized, and creative tool to organize myself the way that works for me. And most importantly, I learned that it doesn't have to be perfect.
This is my first journal, and I've been using it since 2025 began. Honestly, I've never lived my life so fully. It helps me disconnect from outside noise and connect with myself. It allows me to express myself, create, plan, and reflect all in one place. It's my daily ally, and I love it.

Mi primer journal - My First Journal
Siempre vi el journaling en redes sociales y me llamaba mucho la atención, pero no me animaba a empezar. Soy muy detallista, y tenía miedo de invertir tiempo en algo que no me resultara útil para el día a día. Pero después de hacer un curso de gestión del tiempo, entendí que un journal podía ser justamente lo que necesitaba: una herramienta flexible, personalizada y creativa para organizarme como a mí me sirva. Y lo más importante: aprendí que no tiene que ser perfecto.
Este es mi primer journal y lo estoy usando desde que comenzó el 2025. Sinceramente, nunca viví mi vida de una manera tan plena. Me ayuda a desconectar del ruido exterior y conectarme conmigo misma. Me permite expresarme, crear, planificar y reflexionar todo en un mismo espacio. Es mi aliado diario, y me encanta.

Cómo lo uso - How I use it
I use it every day. I keep track of what I do, how I feel, my habits. It's a planner with no limits: I can add new pages whenever I want, however I want. I have different trackers and organizational sections that help me a lot. I've never been more productive than I was this year, and I know the journal had a lot to do with that.

Lo uso todos los días. Llevo un registro de lo que hago, de cómo me siento, de mis hábitos. Es una agenda sin límites: puedo sumar páginas nuevas cuando quiera, como quiera. Tengo distintos trackers y secciones organizativas que me ayudan muchísimo. Nunca fui tan productiva como este año, y sé que el journal tuvo mucho que ver con eso.

The creative side
Lo creativo - The creative side
I've always liked journaling: sometimes I drew, sometimes I wrote, or I just made lists. Here I can do it all in one place. If one day I want to draw, it's there. If another day I need to write about something that happened to me, it's there too. I always have it handy, and it's become part of my routine and my well-being.
I've always enjoyed notebooks: sometimes for drawing, sometimes for writing or making lists. Now, I can do all of that in one place. If I feel like drawing, it's right there. If I need to write about something that happened, I do it. It's always within reach, and it's become such an important part of my daily routine and my well-being.
Siempre me gustaron las bitácoras: a veces dibujaba, a veces escribía o simplemente hacía listas. Acá puedo hacerlo todo en un solo lugar. Si un día quiero dibujar, ahí está. Si otro día necesito escribir sobre algo que me pasó, también. Lo tengo siempre a mano y se volvió parte de mi rutina y de mi bienestar.
