This 15-Minute Habit Made My Life So Much Better (And It’s Fun!)

Sometimes, all it takes is 15 minutes a day to make life feel richer and more meaningful—and I’ve found just the habit to do it. In this video, I’ll show you how keeping a simple sketchbook diary has transformed the way I see my day-to-day life. No art skills? No problem. This isn’t about making “perfect” drawings; it’s about capturing the little moments and finding joy in the everyday. Whether you’re busy, not sure where to start, or think you “can’t draw,” this habit is something anyone can do. Give it a try, and see how it changes your perspective.
• Why this 15-minute habit works—even if you’re not an artist

I have just started a visual diary. It is great fun. I pulled the wrong colour out of its holder so I gave myself green hair and so on. I will call my diary Who says Coffee can't be Purple. I have been a poet for years and came to art later in life. It is great being creative. I am 75 years old and am mostly busy and happy. Many thanks

This brought me to stop the video, and do a quick sketch of my daughter with her noise canceling headphones. Her teacher told us today that she's not allowed to wear them anymore. As she has ADHD they really helped her to concentrate on her assignments.

A great reminder that everyday life matters. Being so visual as an artist, my life is captured in snapshots of moments that seem insignificant at the moment but later as I look back I can see what was really important to me.
Great video!

i start to drawing things around my room that sometimes i wouldnt notice they even exist and tbh its really fun and a reminder that i am alive and healthy although i have a really hard time moments in my 20s and sometimes im about to giving up, but this idea of recording moments and things around us with our hand and not a cellphone is a blessing and i hope more people could try this.

I've done this for years. My kids love snooping in my sketchbook journals.

[delmarrosa]

Wow, this was very helpful! I'm definitely going to try this. I think it will be a great way for me to cope with my anxiety I get throughout the day.

This is the best video I've seen this year. I am amazed and totally enchanted. This is going to be very therapeutic.

I have been watching some of your videos and love them all, BUT you must admit from the first page of your journal/sketchbooks it was obvious how incredibly talented you are, Please accept that as a complement, .also the truth.

[Freckles]

I came across one of your other videos and I’m so excited to try this sketchbook routine for a daily exercise.
It’s cool to think someday someone could look through all those sketches and have another layer of your perspective in daily life. I have so many journals, I finally know how I can fill them

[jackbutler]

This diary you have created is so good! I hope to start one too!

[mangla_gouri]

This was amazing. This way theres no pressure to create art and showcase, just having fun with ourselves and letting the creativity flow naturally!!

[ladyjart]

This is AWESOME! I'm drawing a picture of you inspiring this idea!

[elizabliss]

I had that diary too. Amazing that you’ve still got it. And you got your fish on my birthday 😂
