The Five Minute Journal is a guided gratitude journal created by Alex Ikonn and UJ Ramdas and first published by their company, Intelligent Change, in 2013. It is designed to take about five minutes a day, split between morning and evening. Each morning the user writes three things they are grateful for, what would make the day great and a daily affirmation. Each evening they note good things that happened and how the day could have gone better. The prompts draw on research in positive psychology, and each page carries a quote.
