Organized chaos

I have discovered a new way of organizing my thoughts: my journal. To some people this would seem obvious, but I've never been much of a journal writing girl, my calendars have always been my journals, I can look back at them and remember exactly what happened that day, but in the last year I have made my daily journal entries my "me time". I get to work 20 minutes early every morning and sit in the parking lot, in my car, completely alone with my coffee, and just write. With everything that has been going on in my crazy life (because really, who doesn't have a crazy life), my journal has become the perfect place for my to-do lists and reminders, and I always have my journal in my purse, so anything that I write down is always right there when I need it, plus I can add my random little thoughts, that I might not have room for in my calendar. Do you journal? How do you use your journal? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
