In this article, I’m going to provide 30 days worth of journaling prompts and some free printables so you can start your 30 days of journaling right away.
I recommend finding a time of day that works best for you and trying to stick with it. Maybe you want to start your day journaling rather than hitting the snooze button, or maybe you’d like to journal before bed instead of looking at your phone. Using your lunch break is another way to fit in some journaling, and it can help break up your day and make you take a break when you otherwise might not.
Different Ways to Journal
As long as you can find some paper and a pen or something to type on, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few ideas:
- An empty notebook or journal
- A word document on your computer
- An app like Goodnotes or Notability on your iPad using your Apple Pencil
- Notes app on your computer or tablet
