Daily Wants List Manifestation: How to Write One

The Daily Wants List in Law of Attraction Toolbox is a simple way to write down what you want each day, one line at a time, starting every line with a phrase you choose. If you are looking for a daily wants list manifestation habit that takes a couple of minutes, this manifestation app gives you a clean list, helpful prompts and a saved history you can look back on.

What is a daily wants list?

A wants list is a practice of thinking about what you want and writing it down, so your attention rests on your desires instead of your problems. The app’s info screen describes it as a way to focus on your desires and set intentions. The suggested style is to write each want as a complete sentence and to write from positive anticipation rather than lack.

It pairs well with a morning habit. For ideas on building one, see A 10-Minute Daily Manifestation Routine (Morning Practice).

What you can do with the Daily Wants List

  • Write as many wants as you like, one per row
  • Start the list with a phrase such as “I Want”, “I Choose” or “I Am Open To”, or add your own
  • Browse “TIP:” prompts when you are not sure what to write
  • Save each list and edit it later

How to write your Daily Wants List

Open the Games tab and tap the Daily Wants List tile.

  1. Tap the starting phrase near the top (it shows as “I Want…” by default). A menu opens with ten suggestions: I Want, I Choose, I Prefer, I Intend, I Would Love, I Welcome, I Am Ready For, I Am Open To, It Would Feel Good To and I Look Forward To.
  2. To use your own words, choose Add Custom Phrase, type them into the “Starting phrase” field and tap Use Phrase.
  3. Type your first want in the “Entry text” field at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Tap Save Row, or press return on the keyboard. The want is added to the list and a new row opens. Save Row stays unavailable while the field is empty.
  5. Repeat for each want. Tap any row in the list to edit it, and use Clear Row to remove the row you are on.
  6. When you are done, tap Save. To start over, tap Clear. The app asks “Clear all entries?” and you can choose Yes or Cancel.

If you tap Save with no rows filled in, the app tells you to enter text on at least one row first. After a successful save you see a celebration message.

Example

Keep the starting phrase as “I Want…” and add three rows: “a calm, bright home office”, “a morning walk by the water most days” and “more time with people I love”. Tap Save Row after each one, then tap Save.

Tips

  • Write each want as a complete sentence and be specific and detailed.
  • Feel the excitement as you imagine each want becoming real.
  • Use the “TIP:” cards when you are stuck. They ask things like “Is there a view you’d love to wake up to each morning?”
  • Write from positive anticipation. If a want feels heavy or only highlights what is missing, the info screen suggests softening first with a gentler process and coming back later.
  • Tap the note icon at the top right to jot a quick note without leaving the list.

Where your entries go

Saved lists are kept under My Journey > Saved Entries > Daily Wants List. The “Daily Wants Entries” screen lists them by date and you can swipe to delete one. Open a list to see “Daily Wants Entry”, where you can tap Edit, change the starting phrase or any want, add rows with the plus button, then tap Save.

On iPhone and iPad

These steps are for the iPhone and iPad version of the app. Using an Android phone or tablet? See the Android version of this page.
