Events / Interstitial Journaling

• I’ll add my schedule, written down so I have a better grasp of it.
  • It’s equivalent to writing it down on a calendar for the day. Helps remind me I have meetings coming up
• I’ll also use this opportunity to interstitial journal to discover retroactively

This Day In The Past

• I’ll review my daily review from last year to discover any insights

Mood Ranking

I’ll rank my mood out of 10, which I review at the end of the week. This helps me see even if there are down days, there will be up days in the future.

Share your daily routine! If you’re systematic like me, I’d love to hear about it. If you free ball it, I’d love to hear from you too!
