One Thing A Day - 90 Day Journal

One Thing A Day

A 90-Day Journal for Moving Forward

Even When You Can't Get Out of Bed

By Dr. Kristin Denise Hemingway

Some days, getting out of bed is the win.

If you have ever faced a morning where anxiety made everything feel impossible, where depression wrapped itself around every task, where the life you want felt completely out of reach — this journal was written for you. Not by someone who read about it. By someone who lived it.

During her own PhD journey, Dr. Kristin Denise Hemingway experienced firsthand the weight of depression, anxiety, and burnout while trying to hold everything together. What carried her through wasn't a perfect routine or an elaborate system. It was one simple promise she made to herself every single day:

“I will do just one thing.”

That one thing saved her. And now she’s handing it to you.

What’s Inside

One Thing A Day is a 90-day guided journal designed to help you make progress on your hardest days — one small, intentional step at a time. Each daily page includes:

•     My One Thing Today — a dedicated space to name your one thing, before or after you do it

•     Energy Check-In — a simple 1–10 scale plus a few honest words about how you’re feeling

•     Reflection Space — room to write freely about your day, your feelings, or whatever needs to come out

•     One Word for Tomorrow — a single soft intention to carry you into the next day

Every seven days, a Weekly Check-In page invites you to pause, look back at the week, celebrate what you accomplished, and set your heart toward what’s next.

This Journal Is For You If…

•     You are navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, or a season that won’t seem to end

•     You are a high achiever who has hit a wall and can’t figure out how to start moving again

•     You want to build a journaling practice but traditional journals feel overwhelming

•     You need permission to do less — and proof that less is still enough

•     You are supporting someone you love through a hard season and want to give them something meaningful

Why One Thing?

Because perfection is not the goal. Progress is. And progress — real, sustainable, life-changing progress — doesn’t require you to do everything. It just requires you to do something. One thing. Today. That’s it.

Across 90 days, this journal will show you something remarkable: that one thing, done consistently, adds up. That movement, however small, is still movement. And that you are more capable than your hardest days have led you to believe.

“Progress is progress, no matter how small.

And you deserve to make it.”
