“I understand that we have a lot of things to get done, but you just have to be flexible. You just have to choose the time [for journaling] that works for you.” – Bunmi Ibitoye 

“…creating a personal journal should be beneficial to your mental health. So it’d be something that is helping you de-stress it and not making it another to-do list.” – Aimee Arsenault

“…it [a personal journal] helps improve concentration, helps find solutions to problems […] because when your mind is free, and you’re able to find solutions to things, you get some form of relief.” – Bunmi Ibitoye 

“It’s not always easy. But when you engage your mind in something else, you’ve redirected your thought, you’ve redirected what you’re focusing on, and that helps you take your mind off work.” – Bunmi Ibitoye
