I've been keeping one pretty regularly for about two years now. I write whatever I feel like, but my main goal is to sort of organize my thoughts and get my worries out on the page so they don't infiltrate my real life. I started out writing on Microsoft Word, then a physical journal, and now I'm sometimes writing in a physical journal and sometimes in Evernote. No organizational method, just the day and date and then writing whatever comes to mind. It really helps, and I find that on days that I don't write I tend to feel worse now.
