Small bad habits. Write down things that may seems insignificant, but that you need to stop. Writing these down can help you remember to stop and catch yourself before you do them.
-----
Small good habits you need to start. I suggest mediation, exercise, and reading, to start. Getting into a productive and positive routine that works for you is really what self improvement is all about.

Bucket list. Anything can go on there, from climbing a mountain to learning how to play the ukelele. As long as you think it’s an experience or challenge that will bring you joy, don’t be afraid to write it down. Instead of watching Netflix on a rainy day, do something on your bucket list.
-----
Dreams. Dreams can give you a lot of information about your unconscious thoughts and desires. Writing them down can help you make connections between them and determine if your unhappiness is due to an underlying issue.
Things that you absolutely love. For example, I love cold pools, San Francisco, hot chocolate, and stargazing. This is just a fun thing to do in order to find the little things that really make you happy.
-----
Bits of your creative work. Snippets of stories or doodles create a little inspiration to place to come back to whenever you’re in a funk. Let your thoughts flow and write or draw, disregarding perfection.
