A simple, steady journaling template to help you slow down and check in.

When life moves fast, it’s easy to go days—or weeks—without really checking in with yourself.

I’ve found that when I journal regularly, even just a little, it shifts something. There’s more clarity. More calm. More space to notice what actually matters.

But to be honest, I’ve also found that a lot of journaling tools either overcomplicate things or feel too open-ended to keep using. So I made something I actually stick with:

A flexible Notion journal that’s structured just enough to support you, without getting in your way.

What’s inside:

• 4 daily core prompts + free write to help you check in and reflect—simple, repeatable, and grounding.

• 11 rotating themed prompt sets that gently invite you to explore what’s underneath. Themes like clarity, connection, letting go, imagination, and more.

You can follow a theme for a while or pick a new one each day.
Some days you’ll write a lot. Other days, one short answer might be enough.

This isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about showing up.

Why this matters

This kind of journaling isn’t about productivity or self-improvement for its own sake. It’s about paying attention. Creating a little pause. Letting the noise settle so you can hear what’s true for you right now.

Even a few quiet minutes of reflection can shift your mood, your choices, your whole day. That’s what Everyday Inner Work is here to help with.

You don’t need to be a “journaler.” You just need to be willing to show up—with curiosity, honesty, and maybe a little kindness toward yourself.

Coming soon

I’m also putting together a short YouTube walkthrough where I’ll explain how I use the template, how you can customize it, and why I think it’s worth the effort. I’ll add the video to this post once it’s live.

In the meantime, you can check out and duplicate Everyday Inner Work right here completely free for members (you can join for free!): Everyday Inner Work template

Give it a try—see what comes up when you slow down.

Thanks for being here. Be well.
