It’s here: Your 2025 Story —Crafted from Your Journals
We’re nearing the end of 2025—the natural season of review. It's important to remember this is not the time to grade yourself, but a time to notice what actually happened: what you learned, what you became, what you outgrew and walk into 2026 a little lighter.

Dear Life Noter,
We’re nearing the end of 2025—the natural season of review.
It's important to remember this is not the time to grade yourself, but a time to notice what actually happened: what you learned, what you became, what you outgrew and walk into 2026 a little lighter.
And yes—there’s something special waiting for you in Life Note.
If you wrote 15+ journal entries in 2025, open Life Note to see your 2025 story, crafted just for you. (On mobile: make sure you’re on the latest version.)
Subscriber surprise: You can chat with all your 2025 journal entries—and reflect on questions such as: What should I celebrate in 2025? What challenges helped me grow? What should I let go of as I enter 2026?
Life Note: Introducing Inner Weather & Inner Wisdom
What's New In Life Note?
- Your Inner Weather: Emotional awareness is the doorway to emotional regulation. The latest version gives you more ways to see how you’ve been feeling—clearly, gently.
- Talk to Your Inner Wisdom: Who better to guide you than you? You can now chat with all your journal entries. This has been a favorite on the web—and it’s now on mobile too. Fair warning: Life Noters say this feature sometimes tells the truth a little too accurately.
- 2025 Journaling Challenge: If you joined last year’s journaling challenge, you’ve been rewarded on your upcoming subscription renewal. And 2026? We’re making it even more fun. Stay tuned.
- Gift Life Note: You can now gift Life Note for the holidays and the new year. A lot of you asked for this because you wanted a meaningful way to support friends and family
I’ve always looked forward to Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year—and Life Note’s Year in Review was largely inspired by that feeling. I’d love your feedback so we can make it even better next year. And if you enjoy this, you may start seeing seasonal reviews too—Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.
Life gets a lot more interesting when we stop treating it like a performance… and start writing it like a story in which we are the main character.
My hope is simple: that this makes us want to journal a little more, savor our “normal” days, and notice what we usually rush through—because in the end, that’s what we’re really making: our memories.
Time is the most precious asset we have, and I genuinely value the serendipity we’ve shared through Life Note.
As always, if you ever want to give feedback and chat about the future of Life Note, you can book time with me here.
With love,
Daniel
親愛的 Life Noter，
我們正接近 2025 的尾聲—這是最自然的「反思季節」。
溫馨提醒：這不是給自己打分數的時刻，而是用來看清楚今年真正發生了什麼：你學到了什麼、你成為了什麼、放下了什麼—帶著更輕盈的心走進 2026。
而今年底，Life Note 裡有一份特別的禮物正在等你。
如果你在 2025 年寫了 15+ 篇日記，打開 Life Note 就能看到專屬你的 2025 故事回顧。（若你使用手機 App：記得先更新到最新版本。）
訂閱者驚喜： 你可以直接和你 2025 年的所有日記對話，反思並詢問像這樣的問題：有什麼在 2025 值得慶祝的？哪些挑戰讓我成長？走進 2026 前，我該放下什麼？
Life Note: Introducing Inner Weather & Inner Wisdom
Life Note 有哪些新功能？
- 你的內心天氣：情緒覺察，是調節情緒的入口。最新版本提供更多方式，讓你更清楚、更溫柔地看見自己最近的心情。
- 與你的內在智慧對話：還有誰比你更懂你？現在你可以和自己所有的日記內容聊天。這一直是網頁版用戶的最愛—而且現在手機版也有了。溫馨提醒：不少 Life Noters 說這功能有時候「過於真實與犀利」。
- 2025 日記挑戰：如果你參加了去年的日記挑戰，你的下次訂閱續費已經收到獎勵。那 2026 呢？敬請期待。
- 送禮 Life Note：聖誕節與年底，你可以把 Life Note 當作禮物送給重要的人。這是非常有意義的方式去支持身邊的朋友與家人。
每一年，我都很期待年底的 Spotify的音樂年度回顧— 而今年 Life Note 年度回顧，也是受到那種「只屬於我」的親密感覺啟發。
我很想聽你的回饋，好讓我們明年把它做得更好。如果你喜歡這種形式，你明年也可能會開始看到「季節回顧」—像是冬季、春季、夏季、秋季的反思。
我一直都覺得，當我們不再把生活當作一場為別人演出的表演……而把自己當成主角的故事來撰寫，那人生會變得很有意思。
這功能想達成的目的很簡單：希望能讓我們願意多寫一點日記、更珍惜那些看似「普通」的日子，也更注意那些我們平常總是匆匆略過的細節—因為到最後，我們真正擁有的，往往就是回憶。
時間是我們最珍貴的資產，而我也真心珍惜我們透過 Life Note 而產生的相遇。
一如往常，如果你想給我回饋、聊聊 Life Note 的未來，你可以在這裡預約時間和我聊聊。
帶著愛，
Daniel
