I just finished my season friday as an assitant, i want to start to journal all my offseason work. I was looking at what I should do, I want to be doing this everyday. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated on what I should do to make myself a better coach.

You need to reflect on your season in terms of what you did well and what you need to improve. You can talk to your head coach to see what he feels you need to improve. Swallow your pride, listen, and understand that sometimes other people have a different perspective than you.
As a head coach, I am required by our AD to evaluate each of my assistant coaches. I am then evaluated by the AD (who volunteers and has an excellent sense of what's happening in our program). Before I go through the eval with the assistants, I ask them what they felt were their three greatest coaching qualities. (X 's and O's, position group, game management, communication, motivation, etc.) Then I ask them to list their three weaknesses. We then use this list to build a plan for the off-season. I, as the head coach, then provide them with any resources that I have to help them and keep a watchful eye on area clinics that may be helpful for them.
I am sure that if you approach your head coach, he would be very willing to help one of his coaches improve. He has access to more information than you probably do and can share this with you if he knows what you are looking for.
