I can’t take credit for this, but I really liked it.

I heard an interview about new habits to start in 2026.  One commentator was recommending a gratitude journal.  I liked that.  Every day, you write down one thing (at least) for which you felt grateful.

Offering a twist on the theme, another commentator suggested a contribution journal.  His theory was that the gratitude journal was passive – but making a daily goal to contribute something positive to the world required active engagement towards the common good.

What contribution did you make to the world today?  Go ahead and brag please.
