365-Day Journal Your Story Project: Day 6 and Page 1 of Your Journal (Part 2 of 2)

PAGE 1

Yesterday, we started to take a look at what to put on page 1 of our journals. It is critical to start off right. It sets off the tone of the entire journal. Moreover, when you get stuck and do not know what to do next in your journal, for whatever reason, you can turn to page 1 for some inspiration. Your page 1 will keep you on task. 

GOAL OF YOUR JOURNAL

~*~ Turn to the next blank portion in your journal. Then, ask yourself this question: What do I hope to accomplish with my journal?

~*~ Write all of the answers you come up with and make sure to put the reason why you wrote what you did. 

~*~ Then, number them in order of importance. Then, decide how many of those goals you want to focus on specifically in this journal. Whichever you decide, make sure to put them on the next blank lines on page 1 of your journal. 

~*~ Make sure to circle or star all of the other reasons you did not put on page 1. You will refer to them again when you start your next journal. 

QUARTERLY GOAL

~*~ Turn to the next blank portion in your journal. Then, ask yourself this question: What do I want to accomplish in my life over the next three months? 

~*~ Write all of the answers you come up with and make sure to put the reason why you wrote what you did. 

~*~ Then, number them in order of importance. Then, decide how many of those goals you want to focus on specifically in this journal. Whichever you decide, make sure to put them on the next blank lines on page 1 of your journal.
