There are many tools available to help you win your day. There are also many best practices that are shared by some of the most successful Entrepreneurs. One of those is the power of journal writing. If you have yet to start this habit, it may be worth your time. A simple way to start is by trying out the Five Minute Journal App. It can help start your journey to win the day.
I was first introduced to the app by listening to a podcast. The podcaster referenced how great a tool it was. My interest was peaked but I didn’t take action. After hearing about the benefits of this app with a few more podcasters, I knew I needed to take a few minutes and give it a try.
The power of this five-minute journal is in its simplicity.
You start your day by filling in three parts:
- 3 Things you are grateful for. The idea is to come up with three new things every day.

- A daily affirmation
Every night, you end your day with two sections:
- 3 Amazing things that happened during the day.
