The article discusses the charm and challenges of traditional journaling, highlighting the pressure to write perfectly, which deters many from starting. Scribble journaling emerges as a liberating alternative, allowing individuals to express their thoughts rapidly without worrying about neatness or punctuation. This trend, popularized on platforms like TikTok, offers a way for people to overcome their fear of making mistakes and encourages more frequent journaling. Creators share their experiences, demonstrating that the essence of journaling lies in the act of writing freely rather than aiming for perfection.
With scribble journaling, the idea is to write as fast, sloppy, and illegible as you like. The goal isn't to be able to read what you wrote but to allow your pen to keep up with your thoughts.
I literally just string all the words together and scribble it down. I'm not crossing any Ts or Xs. I'm not dotting any Is. And I'm not using any punctuation.
If you find that you never journal your thoughts - even though you really want to - it might be because you're worried about "messing up" your notebook. If that's the case, scribble journaling could be the perfect way to give up on being perfect.
The pressure to be perfect while journaling is real and it's often what puts people off the practice. While it's thrilling to buy notebooks and diaries, it's tough to actually start writing in them.
