20 prompts for the days you do not know what to write.

Choose one question. Answer with a detail, then add why it stayed with you. You do not need to work through the whole list.

What small moment would you like to remember from today?
What did you notice on a familiar route?
When did you feel most absorbed in what you were doing?
What tasted, sounded, or looked different today?
Which part of the day passed more slowly than you expected?

Remember the people

What did someone say that stayed with you?
Who made an ordinary task more enjoyable?
What would you like to ask someone the next time you meet?
When did you feel listened to?
What small kindness did you give or receive?

Look at your routines

What gave you energy today, and what used it up?
Which task was easier once you started?
What did you make time for that you usually postpone?
Which part of your routine would you like to keep?
What would have made today a little easier?

Leave something for tomorrow

What are you looking forward to this week?
What is one small thing you would like to try again?
What would you like your future self to remember about this season?
What question are you carrying into tomorrow?
If you could leave tomorrow’s self one sentence, what would it say?

Turn a question into an entry

For “What did you notice on a familiar route?”, you could write this fictional entry:

The shop near the station changed its window display. I have passed it for months without looking inside. Today I stopped because there was an old map in the window. It reminded me that I like exploring places without a plan.

Begin with the detail you saw. Add the memory or thought it brought up. Stop there, or follow the thought somewhere else. A useful prompt gives you a starting point; your entry can move beyond the question.
