The benefits of daily introspective journaling are immense. This article explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can enhance the benefits of journaling.

If you are not familiar with daily journaling, see this short guide and definition:

Daily Introspective Journaling: A daily journaling ritual in which one writes in a stream of consciousness for a set number or pages or duration. Typically, journaling is done at the same time each day, in order to ingrain the practice as a habit.

Journaling Benefits

The benefits of journaling are most akin to those of meditation and therapy. They include improvement in narrative thinking, communication, clarity, tranquility, and problem solving.

Most people that journal don't just write, they also review past entries. The journal left behind is an invaluable artefact. By reviewing your own past journal entries, you can learn more about yourself by identifying patterns and studying how your own thinking evolves.

How LLM's Can Enhance Journaling

In both journaling and review, LLM's can be leveraged to great effect.
