As many of you know, I quite enjoy keeping a journal. As years pass by and my journals pileup, I am keen to improve this habit of journal keeping. To do that, I have decided to study the journals of successful people to extract tips and wisdom you and I can use for our journal keeping.

I am quite excited about this project as journal keeping is one of the most shared habit among the successful people I have studied – through biographies, documentaries, books, etc.

Completed Analysis of People’s Journals

Here are the people whose journals I have analysed to date:

• Bruce Lee – Wisdom from the Journals of Bruce Lee
• Leonardo da Vinci – Observing the journals of Leonardo da Vinci
• Benjamin Franklin – 3 Self-Improvement Tips from the Journals of Benjamin Franklin
• Thomas Edison – What the Journals of Thomas Edison Teach Us About Productivity, Creativity, and Success
• Albert Einstein – What Einstein’s Journals teach us about Focus, Play, and Creativity

Planned Analysis of People’s Journals

Here are the people whose journals’ I hope to analyze in the near future:

• Leo Tolstoy
• Oliver Sacks
• Theodore Roosevelt
• Charles Darwin
• Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Beethoven
• Ernest Hemingway

I hope to be constantly updating this page as I make progress in this project of analyzing the journals of successful people.
