Welcome to Journaling January 2026

On this first day of 2026 we start a new adventure. One that will hopefully be rewarding, even if you do struggle from time to time.

Day One Prompt

Being the first day of 2026, this seemed to me to be the most appropriate prompt.

What is your personal goal for this new year?

Note: These prompts are being supplied as a completely optional item for you to use, if you are stuck on what to write. In fact, you might want to use one of these early prompts later in the month if you get stuck.

Leader Board Update

Normally there would be an image of the TrackBear Leader Board here, but since it's the first day, there's no progress to update. Also, I may not post the Leader Board every day. This is more of an event instead of a competition, posting the Leader Board every day seems unnecessary.

Instead, I will supply the link to the Leader Board most days.

Resources

If you haven't seen them already, we have two (hopefully) helpful documents:

• Introduction To Journaling
• TrackBear Set Up Guide

And, if you didn't have it already, here is the link to the TrackBear App.

Closing Note

If you haven't posted before, leave us a comment below. We'd love to get to know all the participants in the event.

I thought this was fixed...it shouldn't have been viewable until it was scheduled.

Well, glad to know now that it isn't fixed.

(Sigh, just looked at the issue -- it's still open, but didn't make it into version 1.4 of PieFed...)

Yeah, I added a comment to my issue in the PieFed Codeberg repository.

FYI - I'm changing things up a little bit for this event. I am posting the daily updates at midnight GMT, instead of CST. That will make it easier for me (that's 7pm my time...).

Well, I managed to write four pages today... I focused on a single topic, but didn't follow the prompt.
