Speaker, Trainer & Founder of JournalingFix Aine Kmen

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Speaker, Trainer & Founder of JournalingFix Aine Kmen.From her base in San Diego, Aine helps high-performing people and teams think more clearly under pressure, focus on what actually matters, and get unstuck faster.To do that, she created JournalingFix, a system of science-backed quick-writing protocols designed to target the specific cognitive states that can slow down high performers — including task avoidance, circling thoughts, scattered attention, difficulty focusing, and staying productive during unstructured time.Aine has spent the last decade working inside early-stage startup teams across the United States, Europe and Brazil, gaining firsthand experience with the pressure, uncertainty and constant demands that come with high-performance environments.She founded JournalingFix in late 2025, turning years of experience working with people and teams into a practical system designed to help people use writing as a tool for clearer thinking and better focus.In this conversation, we explore journaling for productivity, cognitive performance, focus, procrastination, task avoidance, overthinking, mental clarity, high-performance teams, startup culture, workplace productivity and the science behind quick writing protocols.How can a few minutes of intentional writing help you get unstuck? Why do high performers sometimes struggle with scattered attention and task avoidance? And how can structured journaling help people think more clearly when the pressure is on?Aine Kmen takes us through the whole journey — from years inside startup environments to creating a new approach to focused thinking with JournalingFix.We cover the whole journey.
