Yup, that's me too.
But I like how writing feels and I really like the ability to refer back to past ideas and build on them. To recall things I learned in detail.
So in my latest attempt at journaling I added deliberate handwriting practice. First I did adult handwriting practice sheets everyday. Now I copy down the alphabet if I don't know what else to write. Sometimes I just write down a song that's stuck in my head. Then I write whatever ideas I need to get out of the way before work. It's a very meditative way to start the day. And my mind feels fresh and ready to engage afterwards.
