For the past year or so, I have been using writing prompts in my journal. I'll write about whatever I want, then I will respond to the prompt for that particular day. It adds a little extra fun to my regular journaling by making me think about something that maybe wouldn't occur to me to write about.
Sometimes coming up with a topic to write about every day can be challenging, so why not respond to a prompt when I don't have much to say?
Here is the list of prompts I am using this month:
Today is Nov 4, and the prompt is: Your preferred method of communication.
My preferred method of communication is writing. At work, I like it when people send me an email with their requests and information because then it gives me something tangible to refer back to when I need clarification. It is also more helpful to me to have an email that I can drag to a task list so I can make sure the thing gets done. In my personal life, I like to get a text. I really like to get mail; it is so wonderful to get a nice handwritten card in the mail! It's true that in written communication you can't always get "tone," but I think that's more on the writer.
A recent trend that I don't like in written communication is using AI to write for you. I don't like it at all! It's weird to read something from a person and you know they don't speak like they write - but it's because they are not writing it. It's just sad to me that folks feel like they need to lean on ChatGPT or something to communicate. Use your words. Use your words.
See you tomorrow!

Agree about the AI. It's also used a lot in my graphic group and I don't like it, not a lot of creativity goes in it.
