About guided journal programs

Journal Party programs are short guided sessions for writing by hand. Each program gives you a set of prompts, a timer and music, and you write your answers in your own notebook. Pick a theme that fits your day, like gratitude, stress relief, self discovery or a calmer evening, and follow along one prompt at a time.

The number of prompts and the length of each session are listed with every program, so you can pick one that fits the time you have. Below you'll find recent programs from the library and every prompt theme we cover, so you can go straight to what's on your mind or browse until something clicks.
