Journaling for People Who Hate Journaling

You don’t have to write about your feelings in a leather-bound notebook by candlelight.

Try this instead: every evening, write three sentences. One thing that happened. One thing you noticed. One thing you’re glad about. That’s it. No introspection required. No flowing prose. Just three sentences before you doomscroll. Over time, you’ll have an accidentally beautiful record of your actual life — not your curated one.

Time required: Three minutes. Less than checking Instagram. More useful.
