What to Write

You don't need elaborate entries. A useful journal entry contains:

• Date
• Question or intention
• Cards drawn (positions if applicable)
• First impressions — before looking anything up
• Interpretation — what you believe the cards mean in context
• How it unfolded — added later, once you see how the reading played out

That last field — how it unfolded — is optional but invaluable. Coming back to add it creates a feedback loop that rapidly develops your accuracy and confidence.
