Steven Lawson is creator of The Monk Manual, a guided journal designed to facilitate an intentional life of being and doing.

Steve says he's been obsessed with doing - almost robotically.

Today, his journaling practice is - not surprisingly - guided by The Monk Manual, and augmented by a time of daily reflection of what's inside - versus external events.

Journaling helps him be more fully present in all his relationships - especially with his wife and their three young children.
