Marcus Aurelius' journaling promptsMarcus Aurelius · c. 170-180 CEMarcus Aurelius began the day by rehearsing it rather than reviewing it: naming the difficult people he expected to meet, and reminding himself what the day's work actually was. It is a bracing practice, not a comforting one, and it takes about five minutes.

This template keeps the morning question verbatim and asks the evening one the next morning, about yesterday.
