Unlock Breakthrough Thinking

End each day with a single question. Let your subconscious work overnight. Capture fresh insights in the morning.

How It Works

Join high performers unlocking breakthrough thinking.

Stop Spinning Your Wheels

Most productive people still find themselves in reactive mode— jumping from email to email, meeting to meeting, and struggling to make time for the critical questions that truly move the needle.

If you've listened to Tim Ferriss or Andrew Huberman, you know how crucial daily reflection is. Yet many apps just remind you to "journal" without giving you a clear method to focus on your toughest challenges.

MIQ Journal was built to solve this exact gap.

What's Your Most Important Question (MIQ) today?

Your Most Important Question (MIQ) is exactly that — the single most critical question you're wrestling with in your work or life right now.

At the end of each day, you identify this one question, deliberately harnessing the principle of scarcity in your thinking. Instead of trying to solve everything, you focus on what truly matters most.

You pose this question to your unconscious mind before sleep, then capture fresh insights in the morning — before social media, Slack, or emails cloud your thinking.

"The MIQ process is the most potent way I've found to train thinkers in the art of discovering what matters most."

"Great performers look at less, but they look in the most potent directions. Everyone else gets lost in a sea of complexity."

— Josh Waitzkin, Performance Coach & Author of "The Art of Learning"

Examples of Most Important Questions

"What are the most important dimensions to consider to properly segment our potential customers?"

— Product Manager

"What long-term trend am I feeling the early ripples of that others haven't noticed?"

— Investor

"What important decisions or conversations am I subtly avoiding and why?"

— Startup Founder

How MIQ Journal Works

1

Evening Prompt

We email you at the end of your workday: What's the most important question in what I'm doing right now?

2

Overnight Subconscious

Pose this question and step away. Let your mind process it in the background.

3

Morning Brainstorm

We send the question back in the morning. You journal on it before checking any other inputs.

Unlock a new level of focus.

Why MIQ Journal Solves the Real Problem

High performers often get stuck in endless to-do lists or shallow journaling routines. MIQ Journal uses deliberate question-setting and targeted morning reflection to give you the clarity you need.

Deeper Clarity

Identify the single question that matters most. No wasted effort.

Unconscious Leverage

Capture insights that arise when your mind is off autopilot.

Evidence-Based Progress

Use your Journal history as 'game tape' to track breakthroughs.

Harness the Power of Your Subconscious Mind

"You're systematically opening the channel between the conscious and unconscious mind. You're feeding critical questions to your unconscious, which processes overnight."

"The consistency with which you come up with insights in the morning is incredible."

- Josh Waitzkin, Performance Coach & Author of "The Art of Learning"

How Your Subconscious Works For You

  • 1

    Your brain continues processing problems while you sleep

  • 2

    Morning insights occur before external inputs cloud your thinking

  • 3

    Consistent practice strengthens the connection between conscious and unconscious thinking

  • 4

    Over time, insights begin to appear throughout your day, not just in the morning

Get more by focusing on less

Great performers look at less, but they look in the most potent directions. Everyone else gets lost in a sea of complexity.

The Problem of Abundance

In today's world, we're overwhelmed with:

  • Endless notifications
  • Too many priorities competing for attention
  • Information overload
  • Constant digital distractions

The Power of One Question

MIQ Journal forces beneficial constraints:

  • Identify the single most important question
  • Create clarity through limitation
  • Focus your mental energy where it matters most
  • Eliminate the noise of secondary concerns

"One of the ways that I have trained at harnessing the principle of scarcity in the creative process is forcing yourself to think about what the most important question is in what you're working on."

- Josh Waitzkin

Frequently Asked Questions

How is MIQ Journal different from regular journaling apps?

How long does it take to see results with MIQ Journal?

Most people report noticing improved clarity within the first week. More significant breakthroughs typically emerge within 2-4 weeks of consistent practice, as your mind becomes accustomed to the conscious-subconscious connection. Most users report to see value from AI-powered synthesis of themes and connections after just 2 weeks.

How does the AI-powered insights and synthesis work?

We use AI models to look for patterns, themes and connections over MIQ Journal entries. MIQ Journal then turns this into personalized synthesis and insights about your thinking progress, giving you a thinking partner in your quest for growth, mastery and clarity. MIQ Journal's AI-powered insights identify recurring themes, track your progress, and offer insights about your thinking process. It's like having a personal thinking coach who highlights connections you might have missed.

Can I customize the types of questions or prompts I receive?
