Journal Pages

Now we move on to the bulk of the notebook. Your Journal Pages are where you’ll be spending the majority of your time with the Theme System Journal.

These pages are broken down in to multiple boxes, but they are unlabelled. You can use these however you want, but we recommend that you create a reproducible framework, so you have some consistency each day.

You may want to think of some prompts to ask yourself. What are some areas that you want to focus on that will allow you to reflect on your day?

For his Journal Pages, Myke focuses on the following:

Good: What is a good thing that happened today? What is something that made a positive impact?

Bad: What is something that happened today that made things worse? What is something that you don’t want to happen again?

Proud: What did you achieve today that was out of the ordinary? What gave you a feeling of accomplishment?

Forward: What is something that is on the horizon that you’re excited about?



With these prompts, Myke is able to reflect on his day — focus on the good things that happened to give him a boost as the day comes to a close, but also force him to think of things that he wants to change.

For Myke, this structure allows him to blend his emotions with his work life, so this style of Journal Page works well to capture that.

But as you can see, all we are giving you is boxes. We want you to consider what you want to be keeping track of here, so why don’t we consider a completely different set of prompts:

Go Outside: Did you take that walk today? What did you see outside?

Screen Time: How many hours did you spend using your devices today? How much time was spent in productive apps?

Project X Progress: How are you progressing with your current project? What steps did you take today to move this forward?

Weight: What’s your current weight today? What has affected that?



The great thing about having unmarked pages is that it allows you to focus on exactly what you want, in a way that makes sense to you. If you change your mind on what you want to focus on each day, all you need to do is change the headings you write in. If you want to keep track of more each day, then use multiple pages. We believe in providing structure, not dictating an outcome.
