🌅 One Page a Day – A Morning Routine That Starts With You ✨

Before the emails. Before the scrolling. Before the world asks anything of you — take one page for yourself.

This personalized journal isn’t just beautiful — it’s a habit-forming tool for clarity, calm, and focus. With your name on the cover and your intentions on the inside, it becomes part of your morning rhythm — not another item on your to-do list.

🖊️ Why this journal works with your productivity routine:

It sets the tone for your day — one mindful page before the rush

Encourages consistency by making journaling personal, not generic

Space for gratitude, goal-setting, or brain-dumping to clear mental clutter

The calming cherry blossom design = less stress, more presence

📓 150 lined pages = 5 months of daily clarity 🧘‍♀️ Helps anchor your day in routine, reflection, and self-leadership ☕ Looks beautiful on your desk, but even better in your hands

You don’t need a complex planner. You need a quiet moment. Start your day like you mean it — one page at a time.

Todayy I visited students I work(ed) with, headed to court then went to work. Came home & netflixed n’ chilled the night away.

This semester I really have to crunch to get things done. I only have classes on one day of the week, but I have to do A TON of work on my thesis.

Introducing my productivity buddy, Sarah --->

She also has a crap ton of work to get done with no one to monitor her.

We both suffer from the downward spiral of lack of progress discouraging us and creating more lack of progress. I came across the idea of a productivity buddy on the podcast No Meat Athlete Radio. On one of the podcasts he talked about how he gets together with a friend/productivity buddy every week and they talk about what they got done and failed to do the previous week and what they need to do next week and how they can do it better.

This sounded like a great idea to me. I really benefit from having a coach anytime I’m trying to accomplish anything - whether that’s a mentor or peer at work, a trainer at the gym, or a coach on an athletic team. I hate letting people down. I called up Sarah, because I knew she had mentioned needing motivation and we met for our first meeting last Wednesday. We went to a vegan chain restaurant called the loving hut, ate delicious food and talked about our goals for the week. Each day we text each other in the morning what we want to get done and in the evening we send each other a progress note. This is probably the most productive I’ve been for a while. I’ve done things that have been waiting for me for months.

On top of meeting with Sarah, I’ve been keeping a productivity journal. Every evening before dinner I try to take 10 minutes to write about the positives an negatives that day in terms of work and productivity. Then on the next page, I write my to-dos for the next day and identify the “frog” for the next day. http://www.briantracy.com/blog/time-management/the-truth-about-frogs/
