Daily Gratitude with the PLOTTER Monthly Schedule Refill

A gratitude log does not have to be a big journaling project. The PLOTTER Monthly Schedule Refill makes gratitude journaling feel simple because each day has a small box that naturally limits how much you can write. One sentence or a few words is all it takes to fill in the daily boxes in the PLOTTER Monthly Schedule Refill.

Pick a time that works best for you to do a quick reflection on what you were grateful for that day. In the morning, you can look back on yesterday and write what you appreciated. Alternatively, in the evening, you can use it as a quick reflection on your day before bed. The goal is not to write something impressive or long but to notice one good thing in the world.

Logging Made Easy 

Logging your gratitude doesn’t need to be particularly structured. You can write a full sentence using a prompt such as “I’m grateful for” or “I’m thankful for,” followed by your daily gratitude. You can also forgo the formalities altogether and go straight into logging your gratitude. For example, instead of writing out the full sentence “I’m grateful for the pizza I had for lunch today,” you can simplify it to a short sentence fragment like “Delish pizza from lunch.”

Using the Biorhythm Tracker 

You can use the Biorhythm tracker on the PLOTTER Monthly Schedule Refill alongside your daily gratitude log. The tracker in the top corner of each daily block in your Monthly Schedule can help you keep tabs on all kinds of things, but in this case, you can try using it to record your mood.

Mark all four lines on days when you feel happy or satisfied, and just one when you feel sad or down. Paired with your gratitude log, the tracker offers a small snapshot of how you felt that day. Looking back, you may see that even during stressful situations or difficult times, there were still things in your life to be grateful for.

Any Pen, No Problem

PLOTTER Monthly Schedules are made with PLOTTER’s proprietary DP Paper, which is fountain-pen-friendly, so you do not have to worry about which ink or pen you’re using. Whether you use a ballpoint, rollerball, gel, or fountain pen, there will be minimal ghosting on the back side of your Monthly Schedule Refill. When it is easy to grab any pen and write, it is easier to keep the habit of daily gratitude logging going.

Gratitude logging is a small way to slow down and notice what made us feel seen, loved, or thankful, even if it was something small and ordinary or something fantastical and unforgettable. When the news is overwhelming, and life feels uncertain, taking a moment to recognize the kindness and beauty around us can help us continue going. Maybe that is part of what makes PLOTTER users changemakers: we choose to see the good, even when things are difficult.
