TL;DR: 5 benefits from daily journaling as a PhD student

2. Helps to track progress
3. Improves writing skills
4. Improves memory
5. Helps achieve goals

5. Helps achieve goals

Journaling won't achieve the goal for you but it can help clarify details and necessary steps to take.

I've been using it to help me focus on arranging everything for my PhD defense like writing, dates, contacting supervisors etc.

4. Improves memory

You probably have many great ideas that you've forgotten about because you didn't write them down.

I have access to all the best ideas I've come up with including this thread idea that you're reading now that I came up with 2 weeks ago.

3. Improves writing skills

Through journaling, I've become better at expressing and connecting my thoughts on the page.

This clarity of thought and communication has come in handy now with writing my thesis introduction where my supervisors had very few comments.
