Five minute journal and idea journal

Note

Five minute journal

The five minute journal is a way to increase focus and help you appreciate the little things. It revolves around writing the following things every(-ish) day:

In the morning:

  1. What i'm grateful for (x3)
  2. What I can do to make today good (x3)
  3. Daily affirmations, things like "i'm something, i'm something else". Sounds quite reassuring. (x2)

In the evening:

  1. Amazing things that happened today (might have to be a bit creative, not the biggest fan of the word amazing) (x3)
  2. How could I have made today better? ( I like this one ) (x2)

Idea journal

The author gave some pretty interesting ones ( like cut off is legs ). But this one is quite obvious - have a small journal for when the inspiration strikes for ideas and goals that you think of during the day. These should be reviewed - a week after, a quarter after, and underline what sounds interesting. Sounds like a good way to pinpoint my often appearing ideas for projects.
