Day 15: Journal entries
9 days of ideas and the occasional brilliant surprise. Today - some tips on journalling

Day 15: Journal entries

Today I'm listing a few questions you might like to consider when you start journalling. Most people understand the benefits of journalling but often people don't know where to start. (https://dayoneapp.com/blog/journaling-benefits/ )

When I started journaling I set aside a couple of minutes on a train journey every day, as part of my commute. I had a dedicated book - it's certainly different writing in a book than typing into a computer (book with pen or pencil is best)

If you're a pro, consider some of these questions to mix it up. If you're intending to start in the new year, you're off to the races....


  1. What happened today?
  2. What was the best thing that happened today?
  3. What was the worst thing that happened today?
  4. What was the most interesting thing I saw or heard today?
  5. What was the most challenging thing I faced today?
  6. What am I grateful for today?
  7. What did I learn today?
  8. What was the most fun thing I did today?
  9. What was the most surprising thing that happened today?
  10. What did I do today that I am proud of?

Each day, until the 24th December I will share something small with you. The 'something small' will be related to Employee Experience. The 'something small' might be something to think about, something you might use with your team, on yourself or you might share the idea with someone else you know. One small idea will be shared every day with one collective purpose; to make the experience of work better.

Ho Ho Ho

Sandra Thompson, these are great questions that expand on the traditional way of gratitude journal thinking. I love the way these questions will make us think broader and wider about our day and the ability to celebrate and find joy in smaller things that most of us take for granted, which reduces our ability to appreciate them.
