A Full Guide to High Performance Journalling (5 Minutes a Day to Change Your Life) - 1:1 with James Laughlin

I’m recording this episode to dive into one of the most powerful tools for personal growth: High-Performance Journaling. This practice has transformed my thinking, boosted my productivity, and helped me distil ideas into impactful actions.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why High-Performance Journaling is Different – It’s not about doodling or venting. It’s about intentional structure and outcomes.
• Morning Routine – Start your day with gratitude, define your Most Valued Priorities (MVPs), and rewrite your goals for clarity and focus.
• Evening Reflection – Review what went well, what didn’t, and how you can be 1% better tomorrow.
• The ROI of Journaling – How this simple practice can increase your income, sharpen your thinking, and fuel personal growth.
• Tools of the Trade – Why the right journal and pen matter more than you think.

Journaling isn’t just a habit—it’s a daily commitment to personal mastery and progress. Take five minutes today to start. You’ll be amazed at the long-term transformation.

If this episode resonates, share it with someone ready to level up. And as always, lead your life on purpose.
