Day 1 — Big-Picture Scan

15%

Welcome to ​the first day of writing! Here’s a summary of your prompt for Day 1. View the video for details.

This is a 2-part prompt. Plan to spend roughly half of your time on each part…

Part 1:  Create a list that captures the essence of your 2020. Include significant experiences (e.g., events, interactions, key memories), important “chapters” from the year, and/or larger patterns you notice as you revisit the year.

Part 2: Reflect on your list and investigate your responses to it. Make note of your emotions as you meditatively review the list you made. Then write in response to this question: What might these feelings be telling you (or asking of you)?

Do this in a spirit of gentle curiosity — no judging or evaluating yourself. Enjoy!
