Frequently asked questions

What is a one-line-a-day journal and why does it work?
It's the simplest journal there is: you write just a single line each day — a highlight, a feeling, something you did or don't want to forget. It works precisely because it's tiny: the biggest reason people abandon journalling is the pressure to write pages, and a one-liner removes that entirely, taking thirty seconds and feeling achievable even on the busiest or most tired day. Over time those small entries build into a surprisingly rich record, and reading back over a month or year of single lines is a lovely way to relive moments you'd otherwise forget. Keep it by your bed or with your morning coffee, and if you miss a day, just carry on — the low bar is the whole point.
