What good shall I do this day?

I was reading recently about Ben Franklin’s daily habits and one of them was journaling. In his journal, in the morning he would write out the answer to the question “What good shall I do this day?” and in the evening he would write out the answer to “What good have I done this day?”.

I don’t know about you, but I tend to overcomplicate things.

I think of journaling as this difficult task that requires a lot of time and some actual writing skill.

Mr. Franklin’s approach seems wiser.

Keep it simple. Focus on what really matters.

Find someone to do some good for today.

Take time to appreciate the good done for another today.

That’s it.

Make it a great day.
