Honestly, just your daily to-do list and the practice of just “wake up, work, home” is a decent start. You’re building that habit of journaling so it’s actually kind of fun to see your own progression.

Build from that though. Just start paying attention to stuff happening around you within that “wake up, work, home” day. Maybe you saw a cute animal and it made you pause for a moment, write that down. Maybe it was a particularly warm day and you liked the way the sun felt on your face, write that down. Maybe down the line, that nice warm sun on your face brought up an old memory, write that down.

Build on what you have instead of trying hard to write something profound. Journaling is a journey. It’s a tool for expression and self reflection if you so choose it to be. The more practice you get observing and writing, the more you have to work with in terms of expression and reflection.
