journaling 

a hobby that is a cross between scrapbooking, journal writing, collaging, and in many instances, sketching. not to be confused with online journaling, this sort of journaling refers to the type that results in a tangible notebook of images and words that creatively depict ideas and events in an individual's life.

Catherine: Why the hell is Lily writing and pasting images into that notebook on a Saturday night? Doesn't she have anything better to do than homework?
Susie: She's journaling.
Catherine: oh.

No, the last time I saw him he said he was going to his room to do some journaling.

Ok I'll check his room.

journaling fatigue 

the abandoning of any true use or productivity in a journal or other written medium because too much time, energy, and anxiety have been poured into making pretty layouts.

Trish's future log, monthly log, and daily logs all have adorable colorful kittens drawn in all the margins, but she now has too much journaling fatigue to actually use her new Bullet Journal.

hand-written journaling 

takin' it old school...you know, back when writing your thoughts meant putting a pen to the paper.

Keri was too busy admiring her hand-written journaling skills to update her online journal.

third person journaling 

Writing down the things one is experiencing, thinking, and feeling as being those a character in a fictitious story is experiencing.

"Third person journaling" allows one to detach oneself from oneself and perceive and express things differently and more objectively than when writing about oneself.
