This is a great way to keep a journal if you hate writing. I always assure clients that it's okay to do it “meta” and write about how they hate writing in their journal and I curse myself for encouraging them to keep the diary from the start. You can also create a Pinterest board with lots of notes in your journal so you can flip through them when you're ready to write. You can also try assigning yourself daily instructions for keeping a journal or free-form writing exercises so that your ideas flow.
