One card a day, a question that speaks to you
These are question cards. Draw one a day and give it an answer.
Questions of different kinds are mixed in evenly, about your heart, today, comfort, and your body, so no matter which day you draw, there is at least one that reaches your heart.
Each card has a one-line follow-up question at the bottom that goes a little deeper.
The weather closest to how your heart feels today
Thirty cards for looking at your heart through the lens of the weather.
Each one carries a weather name, like rainbow, fog, thunder, or sunshine, so you don't have to pin your feelings down in words.
Whatever the weather, it is passing through. That is what these cards quietly tell you.
What words couldn't say, through your fingertips
It is one blank sheet, without a single line on it.
It is a space to draw, wherever your hand takes you, the feelings you tried to put into words and left unsaid.
It doesn't have to look like the real thing, so fill it in with an easy heart.
Three lines a day, written like a morning diary
A free printable worksheet for jotting down just three lines within ten minutes of waking up in the morning.
Polish it to get it just right and the morning slips away, so we left just three lines.
A letter to send to myself one year from now
It's a one-page letter to the you of a year from now.
When you're done, fold it away and open it on the day you've chosen.
A letter you write knowing you'll never send it
It's a letter for the words you never managed to say, written knowing it will never be sent.
With no one to receive it, there's no reason to polish your sentences.
So we left the page completely empty, with no lines and no boxes.
At the end of the day, today in just one line
It's a journal for keeping each day in just one line.
Six days fit on one sheet, and each day has one line for the date and one line to write on.
We left out room to write at length, on purpose. As you boil the day down to one line, it comes into focus.
Five minutes before bed, three pieces of a gratitude journal
It's a gratitude journal sheet for gathering up three things you're thankful for today before you sleep.
We made it to pair with the three-line morning journal.
A one-week journal for noting something you did for the first time today
It's a journal where, at the end of the day, you write down one thing you did for the first time today.
It takes the day-by-day structure of Three Lines in the Morning and Gratitude Before Sleep and carries it over into the spirit of “firsts”.
It doesn't have to be anything big or grand. Walking a road you've never taken, or saying hello first, is plenty.
Take a short break while you color some flowers.
It's a quiet coloring time for looking closely at a flower and choosing your colors.
Fill in the colors slowly, one sheet at a time.

Travel by coloring the buildings you'd love to visit.
It's a coloring time where you meet a hotel in Austria, a royal palace in Madagascar, and a cathedral in Spain.
Follow the building's lines and windows, roofs and towers, and choose your colors as you go.
You'll also find one question beneath the building to take in slowly.
Rest your mind while you color the birds by the water.
It's a coloring time where you meet a kingfisher, a crane, and a swallow.
Follow the grain of the feathers and the lines of the wings, and choose your colors as you go.
You'll also find one question beneath the drawing to take in slowly.
As if seeing one thing beside you for the first time
It's a sheet for spending ten minutes looking at one object that's always been beside you, and drawing it.
Since it's about the time spent looking rather than drawing skill, we left the page without a single line on it.
The moment something familiar turns strange is the heart of this activity.
A scene from a memory that stayed, its colors and places just as they were
It is one blank sheet, without a single line on it.
This is a place to draw one scene from a memory that stayed with you, in the colors and places of that day, just as they were.
It doesn't have to be drawn well, and it doesn't have to be finished.
Today's feelings in lines alone, with no color
This sheet is for putting today's feelings down with no shapes or colors, only the direction and thickness of your lines.
You never have to explain what you drew here, so it's fine to let your hand go where it wants.
Unlike other drawing activities where you draw specific shapes, here the line itself becomes the feeling.
A thank-you letter you write and then really deliver
This is a letter where you write down your thanks and, right then and there, decide how you'll deliver it.
Because you write down who it's for before you start, the words don't drift into talking to yourself.
At the bottom there's a box for deciding how and when to deliver it, and one to check off once you've handed it over.
Comforting the you of back then with the words you have now
This is a letter offering the you of back then the words you could say now.
The opposite of a letter you write to your future self and seal away, this one is written to the self you've left behind.
The paper is left blank so you can write however your heart leads, with no set format.
Family conversation, sitting in a circle and drawing one card at a time
Thirty cards for a family to sit around, draw one at a time, and answer in turn.

They were written not to count who did more, but to help you see where each of you has been trying hard.
Question cards for getting to know each other
Thirty question cards that ask who the person sitting across from you really is.

Icebreaker questions to open a first-time gathering

Made so that even on a busy day, you can draw just one card and check in on each other.
Team-building questions to open up with a newcomer
Team-building question cards that slowly close the distance between a newcomer and an unfamiliar team.
They hold the questions the early days call for: an unfamiliar door, a first word, how to ask for help.
They help you hold off on judging each other too quickly and settle into the room slowly.
Cards for sorting out lingering feelings and the next journey before you leave
Thirty-nine cards for sorting out gratitude, regrets, and the next journey from a place you're about to leave.

Couple question cards for two who have just met
Thirty couple question cards that help a couple just getting to know each other open up.

Couple question cards for your first hundred days
Couple question cards for looking back on a hundred days together and sharing what's in your hearts.

They're arranged to start with light questions and slowly go deeper.
Questions to help the two of you start talking again on the night after a fight
Thirty-nine cards to help the two of you sit down face to face again after a fight.
They slowly open up the questions you need before and after making up: the words you swallowed, how you really feel, the old cycle that keeps repeating, and what to say first.
Rather than quickly sorting out who was right and who was wrong, they're arranged to help you gently find each other's feelings and what to say next.
Questions for two people about to become a married couple to share ahead of time
Thirty-nine cards for two people who are about to marry, or who are picturing married life together.

Questions for two people with a wedding ahead to prepare together
Thirty-nine cards for two people with a wedding ahead to picture the ceremony and married life together.

They're arranged so you think first about the life the two of you will live, rather than the wedding others will see.
Questions for two people weighing a breakup to share first
Thirty cards for two people unsure whether to break up, to look at where the relationship and their feelings stand right now.
They slowly bring up when your hearts drifted apart, the things that keep repeating, and the hopes and fears you still hold for each other.
Rather than fueling a fight or rushing to a conclusion, they're arranged to help you notice why you want to break up and the words you haven't yet shared.
Questions for taking care of yourself again after a breakup
Question cards for slowly looking at the feelings left behind after a breakup and the empty spaces in your daily life.
They calmly bring up everything from the longing, the urge to reach out, and the words you haven't yet finished saying, to the everyday life you want to reclaim today.
Rather than romanticizing the past relationship or blaming yourself, they're arranged to help you care for who you are now and get ready for what comes next.
Face to face, taking turns, a little deeper
Thirty-nine cards for two people to sit face to face and draw in turns.
They ask one layer deeper, like what's been hard lately, or what harsh words you often say to yourself.
The longer you've been together, the more these are things you've never asked, so we included plenty of cards to let the answers run long.
A poem that starts from two lines
This sheet starts from the scene of a fogged-over window and lets you carry a poem on from there.

A story that starts at the stop the bus passed by
The story begins with a scene where the bus drives right past one stop.

This is a sheet where you can carry the story on.
A fridge that speaks ever so politely
You wake up in the morning, and the fridge is speaking to you ever so politely.
This kind of story rolls along better the less sense it makes, so we made the first sentence deadpan from the start.
The fun of this sheet is that the more seriously you write, the funnier it gets.
Old memories that come along with a broken thing
This kind of story starts at the moment something you'd used for a long time breaks.
At the top sits one line: while you hesitate between fixing it and throwing it away, old memories keep coming back.
This is writing that doesn't make anything up, just what you've lived through.
The “Way Back” that isn't on any map
There's a road in the village that isn't on the map, and people call it the “Way Back.”
This activity gives you only that name and leaves the rest blank.
We've left it open so that wherever you go, you don't have to come back.
The night the stairs had one step too many
Every night at the same hour there's a sound on the stairs, and when you count them, there's one step too many.
To make it scary, we didn't add any big event, just a single number that doesn't add up.
A chill usually comes from small things like that being slightly off.

A sheet where two people who think differently take turns listening

You can pick a Curiosity Seeds card and copy it into the first box, or start with a question of your own.
Choose one journey, one step a day
This journey journal has you choose one thing you want to achieve and note one small step every day.
First write down your goal, the day you started, the time frame, and a one-line promise to yourself, then watch the flow through the two daily-entry boxes and the mood scale.
This is the basic journal for when your theme isn't clear yet. If your theme is clear, like a habit, your body, your mind, learning, a relationship, or a long project, you can choose the journey journal made for it.
A journey journal for keeping up a new habit in very small ways
This journey journal has you choose something to repeat in a very small way every day and keep it going until it's a new habit.
It's made for noting today's small repetition rather than a grand goal, and it also includes a mood scale between stopping and carrying on.
A good pick when you've tried the basic journey journal and want to focus only on building a habit.
A journey journal that keeps one box a day of caring for your body
A journal where you choose one way to care for your body so it tires less, and note a small act of care every day.
First write the care you'd like to give your body, then briefly record what you actually did for it that day.
Mark the scale between heavy and light as you go, and slowly watch how your body is doing.
A journey journal that slowly follows your heart's recovery
A journey journal where you note what you did to care for your heart today, so it can win back a place to breathe.
Write down, as your goal, something that would hurt your heart less, and record each day's small act of care.
With a scale between sinking and letting go, you can watch how your heart moves.
A journey journal that carries learning forward in small pieces
A journey journal where you break what you want to learn into small parts and note what you learned today.
Built to hold on to each day's small learning rather than a big study plan, with a scale between unfamiliar and familiar alongside.
Suits learning that takes time — a language, an instrument, a skill — and keeps it going lightly.
A journey journal for tenderly caring for a relationship with one person
A journey journal where you choose a bond you want to care for well, and note the small kindness you offered today.
Not a page for grading a relationship, but one that helps you not miss the small kindnesses you can give.
Mark the scale between drifting apart and drawing close as you go, and quietly watch how the bond flows.
A journey journal that breaks a long project into pieces so you don't give up
A journey journal where you note the small piece you pushed forward today, so a long task can go all the way.
Built so you hold on to only the one piece you actually moved today, instead of trying to see the whole plan at once.
With a scale between stuck and moving, even a day you stood still stays part of the flow.
A journey journal that makes room by clearing away what has piled up
A journey journal for clearing away what has piled up, little by little — things, plans, or feelings.
Built to keep only the one thing you actually cleared today, instead of trying to empty everything at once.
With a scale between piled up and light, even a day when things piled up again stays part of the flow.
Copying passages from the Analects
The Analects were not written by Confucius himself; his disciples gathered and compiled his sayings and conversations.
Amid the unsettled world of the Spring and Autumn period, it asks about learning, ritual, humaneness, and the manner of speech.
Copy passages from the Xue Er chapter through Wei Ling Gong, and reflect on today's relationships and learning.
Short passages with a long echo
A very short book of some five thousand characters, yet one of the most translated texts in the world.
It speaks of not forcing things, of keeping a low place, and of what is useful because it is empty.
The gentlest passages for a first-time reader
The title means "a precious mirror that brightens the mind."
Originally compiled by selecting only the good sayings from old books, so it is well suited to copying from the very first page.
Children in Joseon read it right after the Thousand Character Classic, so the sentences are short and the meaning is straight.
Passages that reach a heart worn out from trying
The title means "talks on chewing vegetable roots" — the taste of chewing something plain for a long time.
Written by someone who had left office, so much of it is about stepping back and enduring.
Passages a Roman emperor wrote to himself
Written by a Roman emperor to himself on the battlefield. It was never a book meant for others to see.
So it reads less like teaching and more like someone steadying themselves in a quiet voice.
The Greek original varies a little between editions, so this sheet carries only the key words in the original language.
Passages on how to treat body and mind
A medical book compiled over sixteen years by Heo Jun, a physician of Joseon. It is inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World.
A book whose name many have heard, but few know what it actually says.
We chose only passages about how to treat body and mind, not remedies. Please read them as the thinking of people long ago, not as today's medical knowledge.
Verses chosen from Proverbs
Proverbs is a collection of wisdom that looks at life's choices, our words, and our relationships.
In short sayings we learn reverence for God and a right way of living.
We chose verses from Proverbs that touch our lives today.
A sheet for copying Latin passages from Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy
We chose short passages in the original Latin from Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, which asked from the very beginning "what can I know for certain?"
The cover tells who wrote it and when; each sheet carries the Latin original, a pronunciation guide, and the Korean meaning together.
One word is explained on its own, followed by a space to trace the faint Latin letters and lines for writing your thoughts.
The road you've traveled, as a single curve
A page for drawing the time from the day you were born to today as a single curve.
There are no scales or scores, so the highs and lows aren't sorted into good and bad.
A page for drawing this year as a single curve
A reflection paper that draws the ups and downs from the first day of this year to today as a single curve.
The same frame as My Life Curve, but the span it measures is one year, not a lifetime.
All that's printed is one horizontal axis, marks at both ends, and one line to ask yourself once you've drawn it.
That childhood neighborhood, from memory alone
A map for drawing the neighborhood or house you lived in as a child, from memory alone.
It isn't meant to be an accurate map, so the page has no lines on it at all.
As you draw the space, stories you'd forgotten come along with it.
One fragment of a thought that has survived a long time
Cards that each hold one fragment of a thought that has survived a long time.
Each card carries who left the thought, a one-line theme, a simple explanation, and a question for the you of today.
Rather than copying the original text, we rewrote it in words a ten-year-old can read.
This week, a small outing just for me
Thirty invitation cards, each holding a small outing to take on your own.

Each card has a one-line question to answer after you've been.

Thinking of the end, seeing today clearly
Thirty-nine cards for calmly facing the end of life and what we leave behind.
They ask the things that are easy to put off — how you'd like to be remembered, what you haven't yet said.
So it never rushes you, a note up front says it's fine to close the cards if they get heavy.
