Your First Journal Entry

How to start journaling and what happens after your first session.

Getting started with your first entry

Tap the + button in the middle of the tab bar and choose how you'd like to journal:

  • Guided Journal: a supportive, interactive session where Justly asks questions to help you reflect.
  • Open Journal: express yourself freely through text, audio or video.

You can also start Morning Preparation or Evening Reflection from the Home screen.

Tips for your first entry

  • Be honest. The more open you are, the more useful Justly's reflections become.
  • Write about your day, a feeling, or anything you want to untangle.
  • Don't worry about structure or grammar.
  • When you're done, tap Finish session to see your summary.
