As we say goodbye to 2016, now is the perfect time to start organizing and picking out fun journal for 2017. If you’re like me, sitting down and finding time to fill up a blank page is challenging, especially when there’s nothing to write about. However, with the help of prompted journals and diaries, it’s so easy to write down the memorable adventures throughout a busy schedule. This year is bound to be full of memories, and the best way to capture every moment of 2017 is through a new journal.
1. One-Line-A-Day
Afraid you don’t have any time to journal? With One-Line-A-Day, your only obligation is to write down one simple sentence that describes your day (per the title). The cool thing about this journal is that it spans over five years, so you can reminisce on what your past-self did exactly a year ago. It doesn’t matter how exciting or boring your day was because the idea of this journal is to capture your daily life throughout the year—a great joy to look back on.
2. Q&A-a-Day
Similar to the One-Line, this journal gives you a short prompt to answer every day for five years. This one is great if you want to write down daily memories but don’t know where to start. You will have a laugh reflecting on how you-from-the-past answered the question versus how your present self would. Challenge your brain a little more each day as you capture your yearly thoughts and ideas.
3. 52 Lists Project
Maybe you are new to the concept of journaling and more interested in a once-a-week kind of thing. The 52 Lists Project prompts you to make one list each week of the year about a variety of seasonal topics. One week you might jot down your favorite quotes and the next, your biggest aspirations. This journal inspires you to think deeper about yourself and list out the memories you’ll love to read again next year.
4. Flow Diary
What could be better than a planner and journal all in one? The Flow Diary combines fun designs to organize your weekly life with a simple question to answer each week. There is no pressure because you only write as much or as little as you desire based on the prompt. Whether you’re in need of a study break, or some nice doodle space, the Flow Journal provides a convenient motivation to journal.
5. One Second Everyday
Sometimes you just don’t feel like writing. Instead, opt for an app to record your 2017 memories. With the 1 Second Everyday app, you record a glimpse of yourself each day of the year until December 31st, when the clips are put together in a full video diary. It’s a great way to reflect on a year full of change and memories as you watch yourself flip by.
With the beginning of a new year comes the time to begin a fun journal to remember the magic of 2017. If you want to start journaling and recording memories, the best place to start is a prompted journal or diary that will help you organize all your adventures throughout the year.
