The episode explains what such a journal is and how it can support reflection across a defined life area, with examples from research, dissertation work, teaching, cooking, exercise, coaching, and craft practices. It also outlines key purposes: documenting reflections, tracking growth or change, consolidating information, brainstorming, recording modifications, and capturing questions or challenges for later exploration.","YGT episode 190\nYou're listening to. You've got this episode one 90 welcome to, you've got this, a weekly podcast for higher education professionals looking to increase their confidence and capacity for juggling the day to day demands of an academic life. I'm your host, dr Katie Linder. On this episode, I thought I would talk a little bit about creating a project specific journal, and this is something that I've done recently as I have been engaging in a yoga practice.\nYes, I am doing daily yoga, which I've been wanting to do for a very long time, which feels very exciting. I'm three weeks in and I'm keeping a yoga journal has actually been a really helpful part of that process, but you could do a project specific journal on a ton of different kinds of things, and because this has been so helpful to me, I thought I would share some ideas of how this might be used in other ways.\nIn case you might want to start something like this yourself. So, first of all, what is it? What is a project specific journal? So when I think about this, I think it's about basically trying to corral reflections that you might have that are connected to a specific area of your life. So I would imagine that in some.\nCases, you may have already done this or it may be something you've thought about doing. So, for example, if you've ever kept a research journal, this would be a good example of this. Or like a dissertation journal when you were working on your dissertation. If you have kept a teaching journal, this might be a good example.\nUm, or like if you've ever recorded any notes on like recipes that you've been making in a cookbook, that would be almost like a kind of cooking journal. Um, if you've ever tracked your exercise and how to kind of exercise journal, this would be maybe part of that. Um, but in this case, as I mentioned, I'm doing more of a yoga journal in the past, I've also done a coaching journal.\nSo this would also be something, um, that I could tie in with it as well. So there's lots of different ways to kind of think about this. If you were doing any kind of . Craft. I could see doing it with that as well, like if you were doing sewing or anything where you're kind of trying to do a deeper dive into something and really dedicate yourself to it.\nI feel like sometimes doing these kinds of reflections, for me at least, they're a sign of my commitment to a particular thing that I'm wanting to kind of do that deeper dive and that deeper reflection. So I was thinking as I was coming up with this episode about the different purposes of why you might have a journal like this, and I feel like there's actually a bunch of different reasons, um, and you're not necessarily going to have all the reasons for that particular thing that you're doing, but it would probably fall into one of these categories.\nThe first one is just I think to document reflections, and this is typically, I think, how we think about journaling is it's just meant to document something that's happening and kind of how you're feeling about it. And at the very base level, that's what this could be. Just kind of making notes about how something is going over time.\nI also think that sometimes the purpose is to go a step further than that to really try to document some kind of growth or change that's happening over time. And this would definitely be something if you were doing like an exercise journal or something like that, you might be trying to track, you know, is there more weight being added or are you going faster or your pace is picking up, or something along those lines with that kind of journal.\nI also think that sometimes the purpose of this kind of reflection is just to collect a lot of information into one spot so that you kind of know where you're collecting it. So I think about like a research journal being that way. When I've kept a research journal in the past, it's not based on like a specific writing project.\nAll my projects coming into one place and it allows m","cbCaihV56pkrc0Tc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihV56pkrc0Tc","docx",18313,6,"English","en",105,"# What is a project-specific journal?\n## Core idea: collecting reflections tied to one area\n## Examples: research, dissertation, teaching, cooking, exercise, coaching, craft\n# Purposes of keeping a project-specific journal\n## Document reflections over time\n## Track growth or change\n## Consolidate information and support brainstorming\n## Record modifications\n## Capture questions and challenges","[{\"question\":\"What is a project-specific journal according to this episode?\",\"answer\":\"A project-specific journal collects reflections connected to a specific area of life.
