Structured journaling involves setting a specific intention or topic to write about, focusing on goals, aspirations, and what one wants to accomplish or generate.

“the other style of journaling that's equally useful but for different reasons is structure journaling to have a goal for a given entry on a given day and again this could be done in the morning afternoon or night and the idea would be that you would set an intention and by intention I mean a specific topic that you're going to restrict your writing to and that writing should be about self in particular goals and aspirations what you've wanted in the past yes but also what you want at present what you might want in the future for yourself these could of course be material things but in general this is more about aspirations of things that you would like like to accomplish or generate”
