The degradation of character in elementary school students is a serious concern, marked by declining discipline, responsibility, and positive habits. This study aims to analyze the implementation of positive daily journal activities based on the six habits of "Anak Indonesia Hebat" among elementary school students. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects were teachers and students from SD Negeri 5 Metro Utara. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's model: reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the daily journal activity was implemented systematically through morning briefings, journal filling sessions, and weekly reflections. Six positive habits practiced included waking early, praying, exercising, healthy eating, learning diligently, and social interaction. The daily journal served as an effective reflection tool, increasing students' self-awareness, responsibility, and consistency in demonstrating character values. Supporting factors included teacher role modeling and school policy, while challenges involved time management and student motivation. This study concludes that the daily journal activity significantly supports character education and contributes to quality education (SDG 4).
