## FAQs

### What are good morning journal prompts?

Good morning prompts create action and calm. They name one priority, one worry, and one next step — without turning into a long essay.

### How long should morning journaling take?

One minute is enough. If you go longer, it usually becomes overthinking. Consistency beats duration.

### Can I print these morning prompts?

Yes. Open the printable pack and use your browser’s Print dialog → “Save as PDF”.

### What if I miss a day?

Skip without guilt. Treat it like brushing teeth: return the next time you remember.
