Roman Stone

Morning and evening

A page to bookend the day.

Marcus wrote to prepare for the day. Seneca reviewed his each night. These templates give you both, in a form you can print and actually keep up.

The prompts

Morning preparation

Before the day starts

  • What is likely to be hard today, and how do I want to meet it?
  • What is within my control here, and what is not?
  • Which virtue do I most want to practice: wisdom, courage, justice, or temperance?
  • If today were difficult, what would a good response look like?

Evening review

Before sleep

  • What bad habit did I curb today?
  • Where did I act well, and where did I fall short?
  • What did I let disturb me that was never in my control?
  • How am I a little better than yesterday?

Honest assessment, not harsh judgment. Reflection, never rumination.
