End-of-Day Journal Prompts
Short prompts for closing a day without turning it into a performance review.
On this page
Choose one prompt, not all of them. A short answer, list, or sketch is enough.
When to use these
After dinner, before bed, or whenever the day has reached a natural pause.

- What can I prepare for tomorrow?
- What did I learn?

A simple ending
Finish by writing one small thing you want to remember or do next.
