I first heard of the concept from Ali Abdaal, a productivity YouTuber I follow, when he mentioned in one of his videos a question he often asked himself – ‘What was the most noteworthy part of my day?’ 

I found this prompt interesting and took it upon myself to try and write a paragraph of something interesting -usually insightful or ironic- about my day. 

Some mundane days make it hard to assemble a good story, but pushing myself to write forces me to make interesting connections out of the seemingly boring.  

I’d roughly map out my thoughts then transfer to my journal a beautifully crafted ‘Story of the day’.

I try to do this everyday and sometimes I end up doing it just once a week, but from the handful of stories I’d written, ‘Story of the day’s have made my life a more interesting one to live.
