On Giving Thanks

The page argues that Thanksgiving should be a reminder to give thanks every day, not only once a year. It says gratitude can be practiced through journaling or by attaching it to a context in a task management app, and that giving thanks for what you have or want can bring you closer to it.

The author describes his own routine with Gratitude Journal 365 and Day One. At 10 p.m. he gets a notification, writes what he is grateful for, sometimes adds a photo, and then expands on those thoughts and records his day in Day One, usually in less than 30 minutes.
