Not sure what to write in a diary? Start with what happened, not how you should feel about it. TimePeace makes that easier: the walk, the meal and the person you saw are already on the page from what you logged, so you only add a line or two. Here are prompts that work on any day.
Write the ordinary thing: what you ate, where you walked, the first thing you did after work. Then try one of these. What did I spend most of today doing? What was the best ten minutes? Who did I talk to? What will I want to remember about this week in a year?
Keep it short and plain. What happened? What helped, even a little? What can wait until tomorrow? One line is enough, and it still counts as a page.
Get the details down while they are fresh: who was there, what was said, what it looked like. Then one more question: what made it good, and how could there be more days like it?
Make it small and make it easy. In TimePeace, Home asks how today was from late afternoon, and one line becomes today’s page. End the day can ask you for one good thing. Miss a night and nothing resets: the page simply waits.
A calmer way to keep a habit →A diary doesn’t need a blank page and a big feeling. Start from the day you actually had, a line at a time, and over a year it becomes a record worth reading.
