Schedule one Daily Reflection post per day or week, depending on your community's activity level. Use the templates as-is or tailor them to ongoing community themes, events, or common challenges. Pin or highlight the day's reflection prompt to maximize visibility, and consider responding to early replies to encourage more participation. Remind members that sharing can be as brief or detailed as they like—there are no wrong answers.
These templates are suitable for all platforms. For forums, pin reflection threads for visibility. On chat or Slack, schedule posts at a time when members are most active. On social channels, use eye-catching visuals or emojis to highlight prompts and encourage replies. Always monitor discussions for respectful engagement.
Aim for daily or weekly, depending on your community's engagement level. Consistency helps build a habit.
