Looking for an easy way to jump-start your journaling habit? Pre-made journals with built-in prompts and activities are a fun, low-pressure place to begin. Here are a few popular ones to inspire you:
These books offer unique frameworks to document your life and ideas.
· Listography by Lisa Nola: A series of books filled with playful lists to fill out—from your favorite foods to your best friends. Explore different themes like My Future Listography, Parenthood Listography, or Film Listography.
· Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith: This interactive journal encourages you to destroy, alter, and play with its pages—take it in the shower, drop it from a height, or poke holes in it. It’s all about breaking rules and embracing creativity. Keri Smith also authors other inventive journals like The Pocket Scavenger, Mess, and Finish This Book.
📅 Daily Documentation Journals
Perfect for building a consistent, long-term record without the pressure of writing a lot.
· The Q&A 5-Year Journal: Answer one question each day, and see how your responses change over five years.
· The Happiness Project One-Sentence Journal: A simple commitment to jot down one sentence about your day, every day.
⏱️ Quick Reflective Practice
For a focused daily ritual that combines gratitude and intention-setting.
· The Five-Minute Journal: A structured format for morning and evening that takes just minutes a day. (I have a full review of this one [here] if you’re curious!).
✂️ Make Your Own
You can always create a custom pre-made journal! Simply choose your favorite prompts or questions ahead of time and write them at the top of blank pages. Then, decide how often you’d like to respond—daily, weekly, or whenever the mood strikes.
Happy journaling
