Friends Fight Over Last Brown Journal While Channeling Inner 2026 Seers

KEY POINTS

  • Around Lunar New Year, a dozen friends gathered at the author's home to create 2026 goals using ChatGPT-generated prompts.
  • The workshop featured cozy candles, fancy gel pens, and a basket of cheap socks, balancing comfort with ambition.
  • Guests shared some goals but kept others private, fostering both camaraderie and mysterious incubation of dreams.

Just before Lunar New Year, a dozen friends gathered around the majestic fireplace mantel, fiercely grappling for the last brown leather-bound journal—bought at Dollar Tree, ironically enough—for a ChatGPT-crafted vision workshop on their 2026 destinies. This wasn’t your usual firework blitz; instead, cozy candles lit the battlefield, 'whimsical' gel pens glided on crisp pages, and an oddly curated basket of cheap cozy socks promised enlightenment through sole relaxation. Host and Business Insider chronicler swears this January-second attempt at intention-setting beats standard New Year chaos, pitching the Lunar New Year as 'Plan B for ambition.' ChatGPT provided the prompts, social manners enforced secrets about dreams, and everyone left with existential clarity, and oddly competitive sock options.
