How do you personally journal?

Hey guys.

Basically as the title says. Feel free to tell me anything/everything you want about your journalling techniques, if it applies. Do you do it in the morning and line out your plans? Do you do it in the evening and recap the day? Are you writing about what has happened to you? What these happenings made you feel? Do you concentrate on only specific things that made you reach into your "mental toolkit"?

I'm only curious cause I have tried journalling many times before (say 4-5 times at least) and after a short period of time it always died down. I am kinda feeling a need to take it up again, but afraid I might just leave it like all the times before - I was hoping to see some "tips and tricks" from you guys so as to avoid this and keep it consistent. Any and all input I'd highly appreciate!
