(highlight:: For each subject that you might have ongoing thoughts about, start a separate “Thoughts On” journal.
Whenever you have some thoughts on this subject, open up that file, write today’s date, then start writing.
To give you an example, here are my “Thoughts On” journals as of today:

(highlight:: I find it so useful to keep my thoughts on each subject together, because I can see my past thoughts and current thoughts in one place.
I can see how my thoughts on this subject have evolved or keep repeating.
Sometimes I think I have a new thought on a subject, so I open up the file and write it down, then afterwards I see I had that same thought a year ago and had forgotten about it.
If you care about your thoughts, keep them.)

(highlight:: I especially like my “Regrets” journal.
Whenever I do something I regret, I write it down there, noting why I regret it, what I wish I would have done instead, and how I hope to prevent this in the future.)
