The Five-Minute Journal – Day 1: My Commitment and Challenges

I, Marvin Coffman, commit to writing The Five Minute Journal for at least 5 days in a row, starting 3/13.
Writing this journal is important to me because…
- I want a better life for my family.
- I want to be my best self.
- I am confident it will help me crush my goals.
If I finish 5 days of writing this journal, I will reward myself with…
An Oreo Milkshake
