Is Journaling worth prioritizing?

Expressive-writing and journaling interventions — writing about a stressful or traumatic experience for a set period, following the classic Pennebaker paradigm — have been tested in numerous randomized controlled trials, and the accumulated evidence has not shown the general health benefit the practice is often assumed to have. Weighing that against the numbers, Journaling is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (50/100), and its estimated impact (30/100) is on the lower end too.
