The Daily Stoic Discipline Journal
Build daily discipline the Stoic way—without guesswork.
The Daily Stoic Discipline Journal gives you a clear, repeatable 30-day framework to align your actions with the four cardinal virtues. Each day you’ll set a concise morning intention, anticipate challenges, and complete a structured evening reflection to capture lessons and progress.
How it works
-
Weekly virtue rotation:
- Days 1–7: Wisdom (Prudentia)
- Days 8–14: Justice (Iustitia)
- Days 15–21: Courage (Fortitudo)
- Days 22–28: Temperance (Temperantia)
- Days 29–30: Integration & Review
-
Daily page flow:
- Morning: “Today’s Intention” + “Anticipated Challenges”
- Evening: short conduct review, three gratitude checkboxes, “Restraint & Error Check,” and “One Lesson”
- Cycle close-out: A guided 30-Day Review page helps you consolidate insights and set your next month’s guardrails.
What you’ll achieve
- Clarity: Decide the one action that matters each morning.
- Consistency: A compact structure that takes minutes, not hours.
- Self-command: Practice the four virtues in concrete, trackable ways.
- Compounding insight: Small daily notes → reliable monthly improvements.
