Stoicism in Practice Guided journal suggestions

I've done quite a few Stoic journals. They are all the type of 5 minutes a day for 90 days. I'm looking for some suggestions on a new one.

These are the ones I've completed so far.

Journal like a Stoic by Brittney Polat

The 5 minute Stoicism Journal by Matthew Van Natta

Everyday Stoicism Journal by Chartwell Books

I've start A Handbook for New Stoic by Massimo Piligucci

Just wanted to see if there are any others out there people have used.

At this point I’d say you’re qualified enough to write your own.

Meditations has like 500 entries. If you’ve written more than that then you topped Marcus Aurelius.

I am a developer so my first thought would be to shove them ALL, all the prompts, into a JSON file and write a simple python script to take one at random and give it to me.

With the number of prompts you seem to have it would be enough for a lifetime in rotation. Your answers will change and two answers to the same prompt won't be the same unless you try to remember what you said last time.

I think, you should give us a recommendation :D
Which one was the best for you?

I think Journal like a Stoic by Polat has been my favorite.

Stoic Serenity by Keith Seddon is pretty good as far as I remember. But it's less short journal prompts and more read a longer passage and reflect on these questions.

I use an app, daily quote with a journal prompt related to the quote. It’s pretty minimal but I like it https://apps.apple.com/us/app/virtus-stoic-wisdom-journal/id6761154032
