## Easy Mode: Incorporate Reminder Prompts Over time, you may develop a list of prompts and reminders of what you want to log. Your reminders might note that you want to track your mood, what you're grateful for, activities and hobbies, reflections for each day, and any progress on your goals. Having a list of reminder prompts can reduce friction and brain power needed to get in and out of your note. Here's a sample list from which I only pick one or two of these each day: 1. **List what you’ve done every day.** It is essential to keep track of what you have accomplished each day, no matter how small or big. 2. **Focus on the good sides of any situation.** Even in difficult or challenging situations, there are always positive things to focus on. I write down what I am grateful for and what I can change about my attitude or approach to avoid stressing myself out. 3. **Write down three good moments that happened each day**. I also like to write down three good things that happened each day and reflect on why they happened. 4. **Identify your most important task of the day.** This is the one thing that, if you accomplish it, will make your day a success. 5. **Track your activities.** I like to plan out my day and write down what I need to accomplish. For me this includes hobbies like practicing the piano or singing and chores like cleaning my apartment for one minute. I also sometimes track my meals, when and how I exercise, and what's rewarding at work and home. 6. **List your stresses and negative thoughts.** Acknowledge and validate your negative emotions and thoughts. By writing them down, you can identify patterns and work on reframing them in a helpful and realistic terms. 7. **Keep a log of your moods.** I track my mood each day and use this information to identify patterns and triggers. I also remind myself of positive affirmations, such as "positives matter,” “stay present,” "“clear communication” and "gather input." 8. **Maintain relationships.** I also make a note of my interactions with friends, family, and my relationships. This helps me stay connected and identify areas where I need to improve my communication and plan social events.
