About this template
The point of a morning journal is not to write well, it is to start the day on purpose instead of on autopilot. This template opens with two quick ratings for sleep and energy, so you can see over time what a good morning depends on. Then it asks for the one thing that would make today a success, and what you will do if the day goes sideways, which it usually does.
The routine checklist is yours to fill: water, stretch, no phone for the first hour, whatever you are trying to make automatic. Because Custom Journal tracks each habit’s streak, the checklist becomes the honest record of whether the routine actually happens. It is a good first template for anyone who has never journaled and wants something they can finish before the coffee is cold.
How to use it
- Fill in the sleep and energy ratings before looking at any messages.
- Add your own routine steps to the habit list the first time you open it, no more than five.
- Write the priority as something you can finish today, not a project.
- Compare energy against hours of sleep in Stats after two weeks. The number that matters is usually obvious.
