Due to my career practice, and as an educator, I am familiar with reflection as a tool for processing and self-improvement. There are a number of theories I like, but Driscoll's "What", "Now What", and "So What" (2007) is probably the easiest of them to digest (this model I once thought was the property of Rolfe et al, but some research led me to discover that the 'creator' is a bit contested between the UK-based Driscoll and the US-based Borton).
I have written about it how to use this in the past, but it is worth recapping. Driscoll's method can be viewed in the video below:
For my daily written reflection, I currently use 750words (https://750words.com/) to write daily 'morning words'. It works very well; you can decide if you want to make your writing public or private, and whatever you write is downloadable. I download monthly, and compile my writing into a Word doc. I am currently a few thousand words over three quarters of a million words (it is surprising how quickly those words have mounted up).
The founders - Buster and Kellianne - run the 750words site with very low membership fees. When you join, you get 30 days free and then the cost is $5 per month. I paid for a lifetime membership and have been using this site for almost two years, writing almost daily (98% hit rate).
I still enjoy it, and it helps me think about the what, the now what, and the so what of my writing.
