This study examines the journal-keeping processes of senior- level administrators in education, business, and non-profit organizations. Based on interviews with them, the authors report that journal keeping is a reflective practice which aids in sorting through administrative chaos and discovering meaning, generating possible solutions to problems, and documenting the past. These findings have implications for knowing and learning in the lives of present and future administrators in higher education.
