Daily Diary - Free Notion Template



This is a very simple and minimalistic daily journal template without the need for a database, therefore it's faster to load.

Duplicate the template to your Notion workspace from here: 

Adding new entries

First we have the Add a new entry template button. This will automatically create a journal entry page with the current date and time of creation included in the title.

Upon opening this page, you'll also find 3 boxes for you to write in, one for reflections - free writing, and the other 2 in a separate column to list the day's achievements and things that you're grateful for. 

You can of course add more prompts and callout boxes by clicking the ⚙️ button next to the "Add a new journal entry" button to edit the template page.

Archive system


No database? No problem. Here you have a page for each year and each month to serve as your archives.

To create a new set of 12 months archives for next year, simply press the Add 12 months of archives template button for 12 pages designated to each month. 

  • When you're done with your journal entries, simply drag them to the corresponding month archive. 
  • When a month is done, drag that month to the corresponding year.
