Healthcare burnout is all too common, and by looking back onto positive interactions with peers and patients we may be reminded of our motivations for choosing these careers.
Komorebi (木漏れ日), the word for sunlight coming through leaves, is somewhere to put it down. The bad to process, and the good to reflect back on.
Pick how the day went. If it was a mixed emotions day, select two. Take a prompt if a blank page is too much. These were written for this work, not adapted from a general journaling app:
"What did you have to let go of today because there wasn't enough time?"
"What's the gap between the care you wanted to give and the care you could give?"
"What are you leaving at the hospital door before you go home?"
"What do you wish someone had asked you today?"
"Who on your team do you want to thank, and for what?"
WHAT THE TREE IS FOR
Each set of entries creates leaves. Write more and the tree fills in. That's the entire mechanic.
There are no streaks. Nothing breaks if you skip a week, or a month, or a whole rotation of nights. The app will not send you a notification asking where you've been. Come back after eight weeks and the tree is where you left it, with everything you wrote still in it.
YOUR WRITING DOES NOT LEAVE YOUR PHONE
There is nothing to sign up for, no email, no password.
There is no analytics, nor tracking of any kind.
The app makes no network requests. Not for sync, not for backup, not for anything.
One thing to know before you start: because entries live only on your device, deleting the app deletes them with it. There is no cloud copy to restore from.
Prompts now match how you're feeling. Pick two emotions for a day that was both. A new "surprised" mood, with its own prompts. The tree keeps growing to 100 entries instead of stopping at 43, and the leaves move. Writing no longer slips behind the keyboard.
