Win the Day Journal: Harness the Power of 24 Hours

Unlock the power of twenty-four hours and tackle your God-sized goals with this step-by-step journal that guides readers through the seven life-changing habits at the core of Win the Day, from New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson.

Despite the prevalence of digital calendars, scheduling apps, and time-saving technology, a twenty-four-hour day can still often feel too short and chaotic to establish consistent daily habits or to tackle the goals that matter most. But good habits require practice, and the challenge can often be not knowing where to start.

In Win the Day Journal, Batterson presents a much-needed jumpstart for going after the goals that have always felt impossible. With guided prompts and helpful exercises, he shares his seven key habits to winning each and every day. As you write and reflect your way through the pages, you will learn practical tips for reframing your past, harnessing your present, and facing your future with confidence.

While "the win" may be defined differently for everyone, the secret to success rests in the answer to this simple question: Can you do it for a day?

I am enjoying every chapter of this book and I'm sorry I'm near the end!! I find the way Mark links how we live to scripture and faith very inspiring and engaging. His stories amplify the use of the seven tools quickly and smartly. It's rare to find a book that motivates you to trust God more and get on with your big goals and that we can see His provision as we take action right from our first steps. It took me a minute to comprehend and get into the 'day-tight compartments' language. But I'm delighted I didn't move on to another book when that language didn't resonate with me in the opening chapter. Believe me, it's worth it to keep reading! Every chapter has vivid, hold-able golden nuggets that can help you to map out a faith-filled, actionable plan towards God's purposes for us!! This was our book club choice for the month, I can't wait for our group discussion. I highly recommend this book!!

Last winter, Batterson came out with his book, Win the Day. He wrote about living in day tight compartments and introduced seven habits. Those habits take time and practice to become part of one's life. That's what this journal is about. In this journal, Batterson explains each habit then includes writing prompts with space for personal reflection. Some of the prompts are questions asking for thoughtful responses. Others are directions for actions in carrying out the habit. Scriptures are included as are quotes relevant to the topics. There are spreadsheets and charts for things like goals and time management. Here's a review of the seven habits. Flip the script: seeing experiences as part of God's working in and through us. Kiss the wave: review and own your past and come to terms with it and discover a new dimension of God's character. Eat the frog: starting your day doing those hard things first, habits, goal setting and morning routines. Fly the kite: doing the little things, sacrifices, risks, to accomplish the big things, goals. Cut the rope: cut what's holding you back, prayerfully dream bigger dreams. Wind the clock: make the most of every minute (time) and every moment (opportunity). Seed the clouds: take measures today to produce the desired outcome tomorrow. Batterson suggests taking time in going through this journal, concentrating on one habit for as long as needed. He also suggests doing this work along with a trusted friend, something I think would be vary beneficial. While this journal could be used on its own, it would have a greater impact when it is used beside the original book. I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

I appreciate Mark Batterson as a writer. As I started reading the book - my thought process - it seemed he had written the book for me. some issue I have been dealing with, they are in the book. Buy the book, it's worth the money.

Short Excerpt Teaser

Get Ready to Win the Day

Hey friend!

If you've picked up this book, chances are you may have read or at least heard of the book that inspired it-Win the Day: 7 Daily Habits to Help You Stress Less & Accomplish More. In that book, I introduce readers to the power of living in day-tight compartments and explain the habits you can form for winning today, every day. But most habits require practice, and that is exactly where this journal comes in. As you write and reflect your way through the pages that follow, you will learn practical tips for reframing your past, stewarding your present, and facing your future with confidence.

Before you dive in, here are some suggestions on how to achieve the best results. First, take it one habit at a time. If you try to make too many changes at once, your chances of success go way down. It's important not to take on too much too quickly. Instead, pick a habit and go to work on it. Rome wasn't built in a day, right? It'll take consistent effort over weeks and months and years to win the day. I hope this book comes to feel like an old friend that you pick up off the shelf and turn to often.

Second, I recommend going through this book with a friend, a team, or a small group. You'll certainly benefit if you tackle it all by yourself, but there is synergy when you set goals within a community of accountability. It gives you a built-in sounding board to bounce ideas off of while encouraging each other to keep at it.

Lastly, the most important step to remember is to approach every habit with a day-tight compartment mindset. If you start to feel overwhelmed, just ask yourself, Can you do it for a day?
