Choosing the Practice You Need

Here’s the truth: you don’t need to do all four practices at once. That’s a recipe for overwhelm (and another abandoned notebook). Instead, ask: What do I need right now?

• Feeling scattered? → Planning.
• Want accountability? → Tracking.
• Need to process emotions? → Journaling.
• Want to remember the moment? → Memory keeping.

ROBYNE RECOMMENDS: Depending on where you are in life right now, there will be one of these that will be the most important to you. With all that we have walked through the past few weeks, which of these struck a chord with you?

FAITH FOCUS: Ask God what you need most in this season. Do you need direction, accountability, processing, or remembrance? James 1:5 promises wisdom when we ask. These practices can be spiritual disciplines when you choose them prayerfully, not just practically.

SUMMARY: Your needs will shift with seasons of life. There’s no shame in focusing on one and ignoring the rest. This isn’t about keeping up with Pinterest—it’s about choosing the tool that helps you live your actual life, right now.
