Meet yourself now. Meet yourself again later. See what changed.
Then & Now is a printable self discovery journal featuring 21 thoughtful, playful, and sometimes unexpected questions designed to help you get to know yourself without overthinking every little part of your life.
The twist? You answer the same 21 questions twice.
Some answers might make you laugh. Others might surprise you. A few may reveal something about yourself you had never really noticed before.
There is no complicated soul searching and no pressure to become a better version of yourself. Just meaningful self reflection that feels more like a conversation with an old friend.
HOW THEN & NOW WORKS
1. MEET YOURSELF: THEN
Answer 21 questions about your everyday life, personality, preferences, quirks, and whatever happens to be on your mind.
2. GO LIVE YOUR LIFE
Put the journal aside and come back whenever you are ready.
It could be a month, six months, a year, or whenever life brings you back to it. There is no deadline.
3. MEET YOURSELF AGAIN: NOW
Answer those same 21 questions again without peeking at your original responses.
4. THE BIG REVEAL
Compare your answers and discover what changed, what stayed the same, and what makes you wonder, “Wait, I actually wrote that?”
