# Create Daily Journal Entry | Shortcuts Library

> This shortcut automates creation of a journal entry in a Day One journal.

## What this shortcut does

The
Create Daily Journal Entry
shortcut creates a skeletal Day One entry with several sections or parts, including some that are automatically populated for you:
Title:
You are prompted for this.
Star rating:
This is one to five emoji stars that you pick from a list. A tag is also added to your entry to make it easy to find journal entries in the future with a given rating.
Two user-defined Sections:
These default to
Something I'm grateful
for and
Something I learned
, but you can change these to whatever you want when you download the shortcut.
List of Calendar Events:
This is a list of today's events from your calendar app.
List of Completed Tasks:
This is a list of completed tasks from Things 3.
In addition, you can optionally choose a photo that is added to the journal entry when it is created. I like to drag this photo below the star rating once in Day One but feel free to keep it where it is inserted or move it elsewhere in your journal entry as you wish.
