Love journaling, paper, pens, colourful markers and washi tape?
The paper version will always be our favourite. The process of slowing down to write by hand and reflect is powerful.

Getting Started
There are many ways to approach the process. I encourage you to approach it like an experiment. Move forward imperfectly, try things out, see what approach you feel most drawn to.
We are building intention and vitality into our lives not the perfect, Pinterest-worthy layout. At the same time, if you love to be creative, go for it. Enjoy the process.
Fun tools: Colourful pens, highlighters, markers, stickers, play with lettering
First Build Awareness
The intention of the first two weeks is to create more awareness of how you spend your time and how you are impacted by day to day occurrences such as your choices, avoidances, people, stressors, enjoyments, satisfaction, and energizers. Be sure to note the magic moments, the ones that feel like you're exactly where you need to be, doing exactly what connects you to your sense of purpose.

Next Move Forward Intentionally
At the beginning of the week, sync your digital calendar with your planner. Plot fixed appointments. I highlighted client meetings in orange to keep their info separate from my personal development journey. Then fill in the left column with inspirational and aspirational words to keep you focused on your growth. I like to block in my personal development priorities in a way that builds habit. Here I added valued self care activities in light blue. These were informed by my reflections above. I added some meal planning in dark blue and important tasks in the task list as well as habits I am working on in the habit tracker.
Next Move Forward Intentionally
At the start of each day, make a plan for the day. I've used the top three lines for my morning routine but you may want to put the top three priorities for the day. In addition to tasks and planned activities, be sure to include things that you're working on such as breaks, self-care, and valued activities.
At the end of each day, reflect. Look at your completed day, check things off that you did as planned and highlight things that were especially impactful. At the bottom of each day, note something you are grateful for and a way you lived your values. If there are any big revelations, make note of them at the bottom of the page so you can incorporate these reflections as you build a life full of fulfillment and
