25 Questions to Ask Yourself if You’re Feb and You’re Journaling

Writing

  • Would people want to read this if they weren’t interested in the Glymphatic System or Alzheimer's? Meaning, would people read this for fun?

  • Would people need a glossary to read this?

  • Have I explained concepts with relatable metaphors? Ex. If the brain is a house, the Glymphatic System is the plumbing.

  • Did I write any words that could be simpler? Remember, your journals and your thesis should be two wildly different things. There’s no real reason to say “in vivo” or “longitudinal study” in a journal.

  • Have I rambled too much? Rambling can be kind of boring to read, especially if someone doesn’t know much about your topic. After writing a journal, go through and edit out the 5 most rambly sentences.
