- Reflect on what I did in the past week
- Organize my thoughts and turn it into actionable items for the following week
- Understand my feelings better (things around me are happening too quickly that I need to take a moment to process)
I usually take the first hour of my Monday to organize my tasks for the week. However, I don't use the last hour of my Friday to look back and see which tasks were completed, how I did on the tasks, and how I can do better
Therefore, I'd like to use the last few hours of my Friday to write about what I did, why I did it, what I learned from it, and if there are any follow ups
As a startup founder, sometimes I do my tasks only because the "team" says so or because other similar companies did it

Let me know if you enjoy journaling too! âď¸
