I don\u2019t think of it like a diary. It\u2019s more like a set of reminders for myself.<\/p>\n<p>I use Grid Diary. I have 10 daily prompts set up for me. They all have questions that I answer to remind myself why I need to stick to my goals. They\u2019re like affirmations, but in the form of a question. Anything that I want to believe about myself or what I should be doing&#8230;in the form of a question so that I have to actively think about it and recall the feeling. <\/p>\n<p>I have questions that ask what I would regret not accomplishing before I die, so that I am motivated to work towards those goals each day. I have questions about why I should finish my daily routines. <\/p>\n<p>I also have questions that are like therapy. I have a question about if I was irritated by anyone, why, and how I can use communication to avoid those irritations in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I have a question about what I\u2019m proud or grateful for. This is great for starting the day with a positive feeling towards myself and those around me. Then I\u2019m already loaded with positive memories of the people surrounding me if they do something upsetting.<\/p>\n<p>I have a spot for the tasks that I need to accomplish and why I want or need to accomplish it.<\/p>\n<p>And then I have a review question that asks about what was easy and what was difficult, If anything that day changed my priorities and why. This is great for noting things that have become easier and for noting significant life changes.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sam F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;ve been journaling on &amp; off for over 20years.
