Product Information

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. Now, in hindsight, five years and a whopping 1,825 sentences later, I can see how the journal has become a valuable resource for my personal growth, through both the experience of writing and reflecting.

My handwriting has changed, my hobbies have changed, my style of writing has changed, the language I use to express my emotions has matured, I prioritize different things, and there are new people in my life. In the past, it's helped me to process emotions, find a sense of gratitude, and create a record of memories on which to look back later. This small handsome book features a rich oatmeal-colored, canvas cloth case, striking metallic page edges, and a ribbon page marker and one line for every day.

I have been keeping a ‘one line a day’ journal for more than three years now, and it has become a lovely, simple evening ritual. Come the second year, you flick back to the front of the book (aka January 1) and fill in the second space on each page. Dann entdeckte ich One line a Day und war geflasht vom Design und das Wundervollste ist, man hat wirklich nur sechs Zeilen für ein Tagesresümee. While it certainly reflects the end of an era, it also poses the opportunity for me to begin a new one—and, yes, a new journal, too.

I make an effort to never miss a day when journaling, and when I do, I'll always fill in any gaps at a later date. Discover unique things to do, places to eat, and sights to see in the best destinations around the world with Bring Me! Now I have nearly finished it is amazing to see how much my life has changed over 5 years and this book is great for anyone who is trying to incorporate some mindfulness into their lives but only wants to spend 2 minutes a day on that.A handsome way to record and reflect, this five-year diary will make an excellent gift for graduates, adventurers, dreamers, and anyone embarking on a new phase of life. By capturing a small snapshot in my journal of who I was every day for five years, I now have a time capsule that’s allowed me to really see and appreciate how much I’ve changed.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. During these periods, often taking place in winter months, my entries would read, “Today, I went to work,” or “Today, I read a new book” over and over again.

I’ve since realized that, when you can, it’s important to carve out space and time for those activities, if for no other reason than that they’ll bring you joy. But I only made it until April of that year before I started to lose track of my practice and ultimately drop it altogether, as I’d done in the past. It seems substantially built enough to survive 5 years of note taking (assuming you aren’t dragging it up El Capitan and wilderness treks every month).

Upon restarting, I resolved to have reasonable expectations for my own output: Instead of pushing myself to be eloquent constantly, I took a more honest, low-maintenance approach. These days didn’t affect my life in the long run, which was a poignant lesson that, sometimes, a bad day is just an opportunity to remind yourself that certain things are out of your control, and these events don't define you or your life. I was worried about the sticker not coming off properly as reported by another reviewer- but thankfully I didn’t have any problems and the sticker came off easily in one piece. Once I committed to letting go of this pressure, I found it was much easier to make my line-a-day journaling a consistent daily habit—one that I kept for the following five years.

For example, in most Februarys, I reported more tiredness, which became a clue to prioritize self care and eating nourishing foods in that month.
