Over the last 3 years, I filled 10 journals.
I experimented with pre-made templates, free-text writing, morning pages, and other journaling methods.
After thousands of diary entries, I discovered this simple and powerful 3-step Journaling Framework.
My Simple 3-Step Journaling Framework for Perfectionists To Prioritize and Plan The Day
☀️ Highlight
Your Daily Highlight should be 60-90 minutes long and be executed when you have maximum energy and focus.

Read Choose a Highlight To Make Time Every Day for a detailed explanation.
🎯 Goal
Every month, I define one life area I give particular focus on.
I set a small goal for the day to improve this area.

Focus area January: Health
🤏 Less
Instead of adding more things that should be done, I ask myself:
What do I want to do less of?
This could be as simple as not scrolling through my phone when bored.
Honestly, I wish someone had told me this journaling method earlier.
But I'm at least glad I can pass them along to you.
