Here are Ten Things to Write in Your Productivity Journal:
这里有10件事是可以写进你的日志里：
1. Your Big Ideas –好的想法
Ideas are fleeting. Make sure you capture those big ideas that are floating around in your head. Curate them in your journal and you might just develop your next big project.
想法就是一种感觉。一定要抓住那些在你脑海里一闪而过的想法。把它写进你的日志里，也许某天就发展成为你的下一个目标了。
2. Your Successes –你做的成功的地方
How often do you celebrate your progress? Document your successes, no matter how small, in your journal. Be your own biggest fan.
你多久会庆祝一次你的进步呢？记录下你成功的地方，不管那个成功是多么的微不足道，都要写进你的日志里。做你自己最忠实的粉丝。
3. Things You Need to Get Out of Your Head –需要遗忘的事情
Writing allows you to clear your mind. Write down those things that are buzzing around in your head, so that you can stop worrying about remembering them.
写下那些你打算从脑袋里清理出去的事情。把那些一直萦绕在你脑海里的事情写下来，这样你就不用担心还一直记得那些事。
4. Things You Wouldn’t Say –你不会说出去的那些事情
Abraham Lincoln famously wrote letters that he never intended to send of feelings he wanted to internally express. Use your journal a cleansing experience to express those things that you cannot or should not say in daily life.
著名的亚伯拉罕?林肯就把他内心不愿表达出来的情感都写下来。在日志中写下那些你在日常生活中不能或是不应该说出来的经历或情感。
5. You Inner Narrative –你内心的故事
Your mind has its own thoughts. Writing down that narrative can help you draw out meaning and wisdom that you might not even realize you have. Let your mind do the talking and make sure you listen to what it says.
你有自己的想法。写下这些故事可以帮你理清那些你自己可能都还没有意识到的意义和智慧。写下来，用心倾听你内心深处的声音。
6. Your Goals –目标
Goals are important. Even more so, is writing them down. Make them clear. Give them deadlines. Goals are what turn dreams into reality.
目标是相当重要的。正因为如此，把它写下来。让它变得更清楚。给目标加上时限。目标可以将梦想变成现实。
7. Ways You Can Improve –进步的方法
Your journal is one of the best places to reflect on your actions and performance. What did you do that you could have handled better? What will you do differently next time?
日志是反映你的做法和表现的最佳方式之一。把事情处理得更好，你都做了些什么？下次用不同的方法做，你会怎么做呢？
8. Your Memories –回忆
Life moves pretty fast. Use your journal to capture those memories that you don’t want to pass you by. Your journal may be your own auto-biography for yourself or your loved ones.
生活日新月异。用日志把你不想遗忘的回忆都记录下来。你的日志可能是你的自传，也可能是你爱的那个人的。

Many of us have difficulty expressing our true feelings. Writing them down is the first step in being able to verbalize them to those that need to hear them from you.
