Introducing The 10 Day Journaling Challenge: Discover what’s on your mind, one morning at a time.

I’m pleased to announce The Journaling Challenge from 24 Letters and The Journaling Guide. It’s a free 10 day guided email course delivered each morning and is designed simply, with an economy of words meant to help motivate you without overwhelming you.

The Challenge includes:

  • 10 days of unique and thought provoking journaling prompts

  • Direct connection to me for guidance and encouragement

  • Access to a future live call about journaling

If you’re like many of the people I’ve encountered in the last three and a half years of writing about personal development and journaling, you’ve asked if...

  • You’re the journaling type

  • Your thoughts are worthy of being written down

  • You have the right pens, notebooks, journals, and apps.

  • You could be consistent in your approach

  • You even really have time to dedicate to yet another habit

Slow down.

You’re getting ahead of yourself. Journaling doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, it doesn’t need to be anything beyond what you want it to be. It’s here to serve you.

This is why I created The Journaling Challenge. It’s first principles basic.

  • ​Open an email once a day, ideally in the morning or evening when you won’t be disrupted

  • Read a prompt, and respond to it

  • Commit to repeating this for 10 days in a row.

That’s it.

This challenge isn’t a habit or a practice. You aren’t there yet. It’s an opportunity and an experiment. There is no failure and no outcome that won’t help you. Even if you decide journaling isn’t for you, you’ll come away knowing that. You’ll answer an important question and offer more room for another idea.

​There’s a lot of evidence that journaling is good for you. It can reduce stress levels, boost your mood, elevate your optimism, improve your memory and comprehension, and strengthen your resilience. One study found that those who wrote their goals down, even without real accountability, were 42% more likely to succeed than those who just thought about them.

​If there’s one single thing I’ve learned as someone who’s been journaling throughout the last two twenty-five years, it’s this:

​There is power in writing it all down.

​The Journaling Challenge will ship each morning at 6 am EST time. Subscribers will receive ten days of unique and thought-provoking journaling prompts, complete with a few lines of context to help you get motivated and continue with your experiment, all delivered straight to your inbox of choice.

You can join here. Once you do, remember to confirm via the opt-in email (check your spam if you don’t see it in your inbox) that you want to join, and you’re ready to go.
