This might also be described as keeping one journal focusing on a specific experience, usually with a beginning and an ending.

That’s not to say there are any hard rules about it either. This type of journal can work for things that don’t have a clear ending, such as grieving or recovery.

The benefits of a journal focusing on all things related to one experience, in a specific time frame, can range and vary based on what the experience is and how you use it.

You might go visual and have “mood board” pages when planning a wedding or expecting a baby, but that book can also help you get organized.

Likewise, this type of journal can also be great when shopping for a house or car, or searching for a job.
