Overheard my neighbor say she journals 3 sentences every night before bed
She mentioned it while we were both watering our plants yesterday evening, and I realized I've been overcomplicating my own journaling routine for years. I tried her method last night and actually finished it without feeling like a chore for the first time in months. Has anyone else found a stripped down version of something that works better than the full system?

Three sentences is just enough to not quit after day two.

Read something the other day about how most people quit new habits within the first week because they aim too high. Keeping it to three sentences tricks your brain into thinking you can handle it without feeling overwhelmed. That tiny win each day adds up and before you know it you're actually sticking with the habit.
