Thought Action Journal
This journal is intended to help you train your brain.
We are consumed by our technology and life stressors, and sometimes we need to get a grasp on our intention and our attention.
We are consumed by our technology and life stressors, and sometimes we need to get a grasp on our intention and our attention.
I wrote, designed, and researched this journal with the objective that users, and in particular students, can gain a newfound focus toward their attention and intention. This 14-day journal includes a daily activity and why the activity may help reconnect your attentional and intentional focus.
The Intention section trains your brain to become more aware of your tech usage; activities include organizing applications, setting Do Not Disturb and tracking how often you look at your phone, intentional use of apps, and more.
The Attention section trains your brain to reclaim your time and focus; activities include box breathing and meditation, value and boundary setting, affirmation writing and more.
A version of this journal has been distributed across middle schools in Colorado.
