How to reflect daily in a 'one sentence' journal
It made me
interested 
"The surprising difficulty of summing up your day in one sentence allows for some creative wording and careful selection of what's most important to you."
How I did it: I thought this goal was a pretty neat idea, so I didn't have trouble remembering to do it for a couple of days. It's a good exercise to get in the habit of quickly reflecting over your day before you hit the pillow, which is what this goal essentially got me to do.
It's hard to put a day's worth of activities, feelings, epiphanies, and thoughts into one sentence (especially if it was a full day), but that's the beauty of this goal - it forces you to prioritize, to boil things down to its essence. I played around with wording on some days to see if I could get more information in, and some days I totally bypassed the information and went straight to how I was feeling. Interesting to note when I felt overwhelmed by feeling and when I was feeling very factual.
Lessons & tips: Stick to the one-sentence limit. I cheated with the occasional semicolon, but a one-paragraph summary of your day is not the same as a one-sentence reflection. Giving yourself this limit can produce some interesting poetry about your day.

Today as I listened to the horrors that some call their childhoods, I feel the world to be a brutal place~ the human spirit is truly resilient…and for this I am grateful.

My presentation was very good, everyone was impressed, even the professor, but then he decided I didn’t read enough for it so I got a 7,5 out of 10 – it’s ok, but not as I thought I deserved.
