Struggling to journal consistently?
Try to do it right after 15 minutes of meditation first thing in the morning.
Why does it work?
After 15 minutes of meditation trying to not follow your thoughts, it is almost impossible not to have things to journal about.

For the first time in my life I have been able to journal for 10 days in roll.
For years I have been reading 1 chapter of a book as the first thing in my morning routine.

A mistake I made many times was try to journal as the first thing in the day when I had nothing in mind, didn't work. I often had nothing to write about or felt it was dumb to write only what I was grateful for for instance.
I also tried to journal as the last thing before going to bed. I would often be exhausted. Not mental energy. Didn't work.
The secret this time was try to hook up journaling to an existing habit as @JamesClear mentions.
But, just that didn't work till I inserted not only one but two new habits at once.
Meditation followed by Journaling followed by Reading followed by Exercise. It's working great.
