JournalTechniques is a single-editor publication focused on one thing: writing usefully about journaling. We do not sell journals, run a course, or pretend to be a community of dozens of therapists. We publish careful, source-cited guides to the techniques that actually have research or longevity behind them — and we are explicit about what is evidence-based, what is anecdotal, and what is mostly placebo.
Who writes here
Articles are written and edited by Felix Lindqvist, a writer based in Stockholm who has kept a daily writing practice since 2012. Felix is not a therapist or licensed clinician — for clinical claims about mental health, we cite primary research (Pennebaker, APA-indexed studies) and recommend consulting a qualified professional rather than relying on a journaling site.
How we work
Every article is grounded in named primary sources. Morning Pages articles cite Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. Bullet journaling articles cite Ryder Carroll's original method. Mental-health-adjacent articles cite Pennebaker's expressive-writing research. Where a claim is contested in the literature, we say so.
Drafts are produced with AI tooling for research synthesis and prose polishing, but every article is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human editor before publication. We disclose this openly — see our full editorial standards.
Why this site exists
Most journaling content on the open web is either trying to sell you a notebook or rehashing the same Pinterest-friendly platitudes. There is a real gap for slow, careful guides that take the practice seriously, name their sources, and acknowledge limits. JournalTechniques aims to fill it.
