About the book

Unfinished tasks, conversations, decisions and small worries often show up just when you want to wind down. Für heute ist es genug. (German for “That’s enough for today.”) is a guided evening journal for 90 evenings that gives this mental carousel a fixed place on paper.

Instead of long exercises, it offers four simple questions, generous writing lines and a familiar routine: each of the 90 evening pages follows the same clear layout and takes only a few minutes. Worries, ideas and open tasks are written down without having to solve everything at once, and you set a small, concrete first step for the next day.

It also includes a clearly explained, optional 8:8:8 breathing exercise with a gentle alternative without breath holding, which you can adapt or skip at any time, as well as weekly reflections, monthly reviews and pages for an early-evening worry time. There is no daily obligation and no sleep scores: sometimes a single line is enough, and you can pick it up again at any time after a break.

The journal is a personal evening ritual by Tom Helmke, with clear instructions, personal experience and selected scientific sources. It is not a medical treatment programme. It is written in German.

Who the book is for

  • German-speaking adults who think a lot in the evening and find it hard to switch off
  • Anyone who would like a deliberate ritual before going to bed
  • Readers who want to start journaling without writing a lot every evening
  • As a gift for people who would like more calm and time for themselves

How the journal is structured

  1. Evening pages

    90 undated pages with four short questions and room for thoughts, open tasks and the next step for tomorrow.

  2. 8:8:8 breathing exercise

    An optional, clearly explained breathing routine with a gentle alternative without breath holding.

  3. Weekly reflections and monthly reviews

    12 weekly and 3 monthly reviews to notice habits and small progress.

  4. Worry time

    6 extra pages for thoughts that need more attention and are better written down earlier in the evening.

  5. Evening routine

    Suggestions for switching off, mindful screen time and a more relaxed end to the day.
