1. Write Freely — But Write Everything That Matters
The more context you give, the better DeepJournal understands your world.
Every event, thought, or emotion helps your structured memory grow richer and more connected.
Don’t worry about being concise.
Include:
- The main events of your day — even small ones.
- How you felt about them.
- The people involved and what they said.
- Thoughts, doubts, or realizations that followed.
Think of it like capturing raw footage for a film:
the more material you record, the more meaning the AI can help you find later.
🪞 Rule of thumb: if something felt important enough to remember, it’s worth writing down — even briefly.
2. Mention Things Explicitly
Humans are great at keeping context in their heads.
AI, on the other hand, learns through language.
If you refer to someone or something, mention it by name — even if it feels redundant.
Instead of writing:
“We had another argument, and I’m exhausted.”
Write:
“I had another argument with Laura tonight, and I’m exhausted.”
That small detail makes a big difference.
It helps DeepJournal correctly link this entry to your relationship with Laura — updating that state in your structured memory.
Same goes for projects, places, habits, and feelings:
- “Worked on Project Atlas today.”
- “Had lunch with Sam.”
- “Felt calmer than usual after meditation.”
Over time, these names become anchors in your memory graph — the backbone of your personal knowledge system.
3. Include Your Inner World, Not Just Events
DeepJournal doesn’t just track what happens — it helps you understand how it felt and why it mattered.
Include reflections, not just actions:
- “I realized today that I avoid confrontation.”
- “Feeling more confident about this project.”
- “I think I’m starting to forgive myself for that mistake.”
These emotional cues help the AI identify your emotional states and map how they evolve across time.
The richer your reflections, the more powerful your insights will be.
4. Write Often — Even Briefly
Structured memory thrives on continuity.
The more frequently you write, the more accurate your long-term picture becomes.
Daily entries don’t have to be long.
Even 2–3 sentences are enough to keep your timeline alive and your AI model up to date.
It’s better to write a little every day than to write a lot once a month.
Because your life — and your emotions — change daily, and DeepJournal learns from that movement.
5. Don’t Overthink the Style
There’s no “AI-friendly” writing format.
Write as you normally would. The system is designed to interpret natural human language — raw, emotional, inconsistent, honest.
No hashtags, no templates, no prompts necessary.
Just clarity and detail.
If you ever feel blocked, use DeepJournal’s personalized prompts to get started — they’ll adapt to what you’ve been writing about recently.
7. The Goal: Depth, Not Perfection
Don’t write for the algorithm — write for yourself.
The AI will take care of the rest.
DeepJournal isn’t about productivity or performance.
It’s about depth: helping you see patterns you couldn’t see alone, and reconnect with the person you’re becoming.
Write honestly, write often, and write everything that matters.
Over time, your journal will start to reveal your own story — one connection at a time.
