Stuck? Tips and prompts for a slow day
What happened is plain facts: where you went, who you saw, what got done and what didn't. Names, places and numbers are what you'll want in a year. What I noticed is one thing that surprised you, bothered you or stayed with you, and what you make of it. Add your own habit in the last row of the table.
What was the best ten minutes of today?
Who did you talk to, and what did they say that you still remember?
What took longer than you expected, and why?
What did you eat, where, and with whom?
What did you change your mind about?
What would you tell yourself from this morning?
A short entry still counts. On a hard day, the date, your mood and one line are enough to keep the habit going.
