What do I write?

What a good question - for any diarist. But a really good question for students writing reflective journals.

Can I share a really simple framework that works for most journal writing situations?

• * What happened?
• * How did you react to this? Feel about this?
• * Did it remind you of anything?
• * What could have happened differently? What information would have been/is useful to you about this?
• * What are you going to do next? (If anything) Or next time?
  
• * Answer the question "So What"?

If you cover these basics you really can't go wrong in a general sense.
