Hi Malanie:
Good use of a journal. It does take time, and it appears you have prioritized time to make your entries.
Sometimes, the reflection on past classes can be quite illuminating! What seemed appropriate a few classes or years ago, may appear quite dated or inappropriate now. Or how you approached a situation, or topic. Hopefully we grow and improve as instructors. Keeping a journal (or similar record) can positively contribute to this process.
