Home / Journal prompts
Journal prompts short enough for a busy evening. Pick one, write one line, and you've journaled today.
Long journal entries are lovely and hard to keep up. One line a day takes under a minute, so it survives tired evenings and busy weeks. Read back a week of single lines and patterns show up on their own: which days felt light, what kept coming up, who was there.
More on the method: one line a day journal, mood tracker ideas and year in pixels.
Quiet Journal asks for one colour and one line each evening. Every Sunday your iPhone writes you a short letter about your week, and nothing ever leaves your phone.

Short, specific ones you can answer in a sentence, like 'What was the best ten minutes of today?' Long, deep prompts are easier to skip.

Yes. Many people just note the colour or mood of the day and one thing that happened. Prompts help on the days when nothing comes to mind.
