Prompts about the structure of your days — morning routines, to-do lists, simplifying, and the small repeated actions that quietly shape everything else. Build a practice that fits real life.
Attach it to something you already do — coffee, commute, lights-out — and make the minimum laughably small: one sentence counts. A prompt waiting for you removes the hardest part (deciding what to write), which is why weekly themes work better than a blank page.
Nothing that matters. Skip the guilt entry, skip the catch-up — just answer today's prompt. A journaling practice is measured in months of returning, not days of not missing.
Five minutes is plenty; ten is luxurious. If you regularly write longer, wonderful — but don't set the bar there. Sustainable beats impressive every single time.
You need whatever you'll actually open. Paper, an app like GetStoic, a plain notes file — the ritual matters more than the container. Pick one, keep it where your hands already are, and stop optimizing.
