1. Goals

Establishing goals is a tool for motivation as well as measuring your progress. Goal setting is such a healthy practice for success and productivity!

2. Doodle / Sketch Book

Grab an unlined notebook for quick doodles and sketches. Draw things that inspire you or unwind at the end of the day by drawing to music.


3. Bullet Journal

A bullet journal is basically a productivity notebook. It can be used as a planner, a personal habits tracker, journal, to write goals

4. Gratitude Joy & Success

A gratitude journal allows you to reflect on and record the things you’re thankful for. It is a place to celebrate your success and the little joys of daily life that are often overlooked.


5. Quotes that resonate with or inspire you

When you come across sayings that motivate or relate to you, write it down in a journal so you can always come back to it!

6. Dream Journal

Instead of reaching for your phone first thing in the morning, reach for your journal. Record your dreams from the night or thoughts about what the day will hold.

7. Writing Prompts

Fill a journal with your response to different writing prompts. Here are a few to get you started…

Write an open letter to someone you loved

Create a short story from a conversation you overheard

Write about someone you miss

Open up a dictionary to a random word and write about what that word means to you

Write about a photograph you have taken and why it is significant


8. Travel

Record your adventures through daily journal entries, photographs and sketches of where you have traveled and what you did at each destination.

9. Good Reads

If you’re a reader, this idea is perfect for you! Use a journal to write about the literature you’ve read including significant quotes, symbolism, characters and plot analysis.

10. Poetry and Songwriting

I draw inspiration through the things I see and experience, and having a notebook to record those things in helps me to remember the things that inspire me and acts as a reference I can always look back on.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
