About

The 1-1-1 journaling technique from Sahil Bloom aims to improve mental health by providing a simple and low time burden structure.

It involves writing down three simple points every evening: 1 win from the day, 1 point of tension, anxiety, or stress, and 1 point of gratitude.

The goal of this method is to appreciate progress, release tension, and reflect on important things in life, which takes about 5 minutes. It is designed to be easy to start and maintain, making it a helpful tool for building a journaling practice that can improve mental health.

Examples

"Every single person should develop a daily journaling habit. Daily journaling is the most beneficial and therapeutic habit I’ve picked up in the last year. It provides a daily outlet that helps with stress & supports personal growth." – Sahil Bloom
