Many people want the benefits of journaling—clarity, stress relief, reflection—but quit because it feels like homework. The fix is reducing the entry to one sentence.
Pick a daily prompt that is hard to overthink: “Today I learned…”, “Right now I feel…” or “The best part of today was…”.
One sentence, daily
Write one honest sentence. Not a performance. Not a social media caption. Just a small record of your inner life.
Over weeks, those sentences become data. You notice patterns: what drains you, what energizes you, what keeps repeating.
Make it forgiving
If you miss a day, nothing breaks. You are building a practice, not a chain. The surprising effect is how quickly one sentence creates a pause—often enough to choose better habits the next day.
