lifestyle || Q&A a Day Questions

IoanaMay 15, 2018

One of the ways to use a notebook I mentioned in my video “16 Ways to Use a Notebook” was to create a Q&A a Week journal where you answer a question each week for five years and then look back and see how your answers change over time.

I’m often asked what questions I have in my notebook, and where I got them from. In essence, they’re mainly journaling prompts I pulled from a variety of sources. If you’re looking for some ideas though, here is the complete list of the prompts I wrote in my notebook, in order starting from the first week of January:

  1. what are your goals this year?
  2. what were the three best and worst things that happened last year?
  3. what is stressing you out lately?
  4. what makes you smile?
  5. can people change?
  6. if you could choose one thing you could do better, what would it be?
  7. who are you in love with?
  8. biggest pet peeve?
  9. what habits would you like to improve at school, work, and with friends/family?
  10. favourite person/best friend at the moment?
  11. do you believe in destiny/fate?
  12. favourite things about yourself?
  13. what activities would you like to pursue outside of your obligations?
  14. what are you working on right now?
  15. what is the last item you purchased?
  16. what would your ideal future look like?
  17. what are you grateful for?
  18. what would your career look like in the future?
  19. where do you want to be in six months, five years, ten years and why?
  20. what did you do this week?
  21. what do you like best about your body today?
  22. describe your ideal social life in the future
  23. what was the biggest mistake you made this week?
  24. three things you would do if you weren’t so afraid?
  25. what is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
  26. if you could create a habit, what would it be? what about getting rid of a habit?
  27. what would you like to learn more about in the next six months, two years, five years?
  28. what inspires you?
  29. describe what your ideal family would look like – ideal partner, parents, children?
  30. what can you do better than anyone else?
  31. write down the three last text messages you sent
  32. share some good advice
  33. happiest moment this week?
  34. any regrets?
  35. what did you do this summer?
  36. what makes you cringe?
  37. dear future me…
  38. what are your favourite books, movies, songs?
  39. think about two or three people you most admire and why? what qualities do they possess that you wish you had?
  40. what are the top 5-10 characteristics you look for in a romantic partner?
  41. what do you wish you could re-do?
  42. do you believe in life after death?
  43. how do you feel?
  44. do you feel appreciated?
  45. what is the future you want to avoid?
  46. do you workout?
  47. is there anything you feel guilty about?
  48. what really pissed you off this week?
  49. if you could give yourself a gift, what would it be?
  50. what would your perfect day be like?
  51. who are the most important people in your life?
  52. what inspires you or who inspires you and why?
  53. what did you do this christmas?
  54. how was your year? Accomplishments, regrets, memories?

    3 best and worst: Best things
    1. I helped a old man realise a couple things that were wrong with his thought on somethingsthat were still fixable.
    2. I stopped being drugged by someone who did not realize it was happening and how. Who had become an inspiration to my being a Copyright Metaphysics Scientist. Completed my what I believe is my final writings completing the 3 writing for purchase by the public. The main reason for the writing, “Interactive Software WIFY, and The EM Field” covering activities activities within the field.

    3. I moved so I could help guide the recovery of someone sleep deprived for a long period of time and for me hopefully for my healing to be completed

    WORST 3

    1. I was somehow drugged causing me to be charged for more days rent for a moving van

    2. I had not been healed roughed enough yet for my Grandson to see me.

    3. I am still single because. I will not go with just anyone.

    Website not up yet.

Caught the @evergreen_brick_works farmers market t Caught the @evergreen_brick_works farmers market this Saturday for another @usktoronto sketching meetup! Always a great time with this group. 🥳 I’ll admit I didn’t do much sketching this time around… was *very* busy making the rounds at the farmers market. 😜

little cup, GIANT smile 🥳 Totally in my elemen little cup, GIANT smile 🥳

Totally in my element at the @usktoronto exhibition reception event at @atoriginto a couple weekends ago. The exhibit showcases sketches by local artists that are primarily done on-location in places we travel to or live in. I’ve tagged a few of the artists so you can tap through to their profiles!

You might remember helping me choose which two sketches to submit to the show application back in December. Check them out hanging right there on the wall in slide 3! 

And HUGE thanks for helping me narrow it down. 🥰

If you’re in the area come check it out. (Or better yet, let’s go together!) 👯‍♀️

Instantly loved the interior of this cafe. 👌 I feel like maximalist interiors speak to my soul. Its late and maybe this isn’t quite it, but … they sort of remind me of my favourite people.

So glad I overcame my initial hesitation toward th So glad I overcame my initial hesitation toward this book being about video games. It’s a delight for my brain so far and I’m not ashamed to admit that I spent all of this morning and afternoon reading (it was glorious) and I’ve learned 3 new words I adore:
- dilettante
- Weltschmerz
- palimpsest

Pls note: photos taken “while reading” are obviously not as impromptu as they may appear on Instagram. They’re usually when (a) you’re on a reading intermission because you either haven’t started or are getting a bit tired of reading for so long or (b) there’s a long period of descriptive text that doesn’t necessarily represent the quality of the book and is a good time to hashtag let-me-take-a-selfie. So don’t read this one page and form an opinion about the book. Instagram isn’t reality. 😜

Pls also note I’m only 40% through the book so my review isn’t definite. I’ve been burned before by jumping too excitedly to recommend a book (in this case, TV show) to everyone around me before realizing it gets WEIRD later on. So take my moment of excitement with a grain of salt - more thoughts to come!
Just received this new pen from @bulletjournal and Just received this new pen from @bulletjournal and @leuchtturm1917 @leuchtturm1917canada! 👀 Here’s a closer look!

Can you tell I had so much fun unboxing this 😅 It’s my new desk pen for days that I want to feel a little ✨fancy✨
