Pro tip: use a character voice journal before starting your rough draft

I used to just wing it and write my first pages flat, then I started keeping a 3 line journal in each character's voice for a week before drafting. It changed how I write dialogue, now every character sounds different instead of like me with different names. Has anyone else tried voice journals or do you use another trick to separate your characters?

That sounds exhausting but honestly kinda brilliant.
