You all know that I am a HUGE fan of journals, journaling, and blank journal notebooks. Kevin Eikenberry wrote about a particular type of journal that he uses that is simply amazing. I am stunned that I hadn’t heard of this before!
Learn More, and Faster, with a Learning Journal
Asking yourself the right questions – and answering them – creates the lessons and insights; writing them down in your journal solidifies them and makes them yours forever.
Ask yourself questions like:
- What happened?
- Why?
- What is the lesson?
- How can I apply this to another situation?
- What could I do differently next time?
- How could this problem/challenge/issue be solved/removed?
Of course, there are as many questions as there are learning opportunities, but this very short list should at least get you started.
These questions are designed to help you reflect on your daily events and happenings to use as fodder for your own development and progress. Asking and answering them regularly will make a big difference in your results.
I believe that I have found a use for the new notebook that I picked up a while back! Read the entire post - One of the best ways to learn more, learn faster, and accelerate your progress towards any goal is by using a learning journal.

I’m as guilty as anyone for not writing things down and then not remembering what I learned from that lesson. Destined to repeat my mistakes. I am trying though:)
