As Ron Klug (2002: 1) has put it – ‘a place to record daily happenings’. However, as he also says it is far more than that:

A journal is also a tool for self-discovery, an aid to concentration, a mirror for the soul, a place to generate and capture ideas, a safety valve for the emotions, a training ground for the writer, and a good friend and confidant.

Helps reflection, critical thinking, and expression of ideas
