I’m so thankful for the little prompts I’ve created over the years. Thursday3 is no exception. Thursday3 started out a way for me to take more photos of myself during my last semester on campus, but has evolved into a way for me to easily talk about a few of the things going on in my right now life.
I love that the prompt itself just takes all the pressure off my journaling. I don’t need to come up with the most important things or write about anything super specific. It’s just whatever seems to be top of mind when I start writing.
Technique of the Day
Today, for my visual representation of the numbers, I stamped and cut out my 1, 2, and 3 from pre-stickered tissue paper (learn how here). It was simple on the brain (I’m needing a lot more of that lately) while being a little bit challenging on my hands. Which, honestly, was a nice change of pace from all the super easy stuff I’ve been doing lately.
I picked out some warm colors—even though I think any three colors would have worked fine—I’m needing some bright pops of color during these long winter days. Since I wasn’t feeling super verbose today, I grabbed a thicker journaling pen, so my words would take up more space on the page. It’s a great trick when you’re feeling like journaling less (conversely, if you’ve got a lot to say, use a thinner pen), and it was perfect for today. The bold type went perfectly with the bright colors.

Tips & Creative Wisdom
Balance Easy With Engaging
Not every page needs to be effortless—but it shouldn’t be exhausting either. A little hand-focused challenge can feel really satisfying.
Pro Tip: Pair a simple prompt with a slightly tactile technique (cutting, stamping, layering) to keep your brain relaxed and your hands busy.
