The Life-Changing Habit of Journaling of the Titans

Journaling is one of the secrets of the Titans, which gives form to their great plans, tracking progress and solving problems.

Ever wondered why history’s great minds would spend so much of their precious time writing things that will never be seen by another soul?


Jim Rohn says, “If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured, and unique individual, keep a journal.”


Many famous creatives, writers, innovators and original thinkers of our generation keep journals— for many, it is a creative necessity, for others, a place for exploration, and for some an art form in and of itself.

But you don’t have to be creative, scientist or an innovator for this practice to be worthwhile.

Journaling helps you prioritize, clarify thinking, and accomplish your most important tasks, over urgent busy work.

Tim Ferriss calls it the deloading phase in life. He explains, “I use it as a tool to clarify my thinking and goals, much as Kevin Kelly (one of my favorite humans) does. The paper is like a photography darkroom for my mind.”

Reflective writing has also been shown to improve decision-making and critical thinking in a number of medical professions.
