THIS Gaming Journal Helped me FINALLY Beat My BACKLOG!

Tired of buying games you never finish? Me too. So I started a gaming journal to finally tackle my backlog, and it seriously changed everything. In this video, I walk you through how I built and organized my personal video game journal using a Zelda-themed notebook and ChatGPT. From game overviews and session logs to my custom “Post-Game Kanto/Johto” section (shoutout to fellow Pokémon fans), I’ll show you exactly how this simple system helped me finish 4 out of 10 games so far, and why it keeps me motivated to keep going. Whether you’re a longtime gamer drowning in unplayed titles or just someone who loves journaling, this is a cozy, low-pressure way to turn your gaming hobby into something more intentional and satisfying.
