Any tips on journal keeping, specifically the format or style of writing?

I've been keeping a journal but I am unsatisfied with the result. I have no methodology, some days I write as if speaking to a future me, some I write as if to an audience, and some days I write essays, and others I just list what I have done. As a result, my journal is difficult to read, it doesn't have a consistent feel.

I write paragraphs beneath headings, to prevent rambling.
