5-Minute Wind Down

Three prompts, five minutes, at the end of the day. Empty what is still in your head, look at the moment you keep replaying, and set one thing down before you close the book.

Bring your own journal. We'll bring the prompts, the timer, and the music.

New to Journal Party?

Meet your journal's new best friend.

The end of the day is when everything unfinished gets loud. This session gives it somewhere to go. In five minutes you write down what is still open in your head, look closely at the one moment you keep coming back to, and hand one thing to tomorrow so you can stop carrying it tonight. Three prompts, one at a time, each with its own timer. You write in your own journal; Journal Party holds the pace. It ends on something from the day that was good enough to end on. If this is your first guided session, start here. If it works, there are hundreds more in the library, and new ones every week.

  • A prompt when you need one

    Every session opens with a question, so you never start at a blank page.

  • A timer and music

    Each prompt gets its own timer. Turn on music or a soundscape if you like company.

  • New programs every week

    Hundreds of programs with new releases every week, and daily prompts for journaling.
