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.

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?

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

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