The Hero’s Journal is, undoubtedly, a life-changing product!
Today was the first day of my quest, and I already feel extremely motivated to grow and reach my goal. There are so many things to say here… The wonderful coloring pages hooked me creatively, the language in the journal and the way it makes you reaffirm your quest and really think about how to attain your goals is incredible, and the daily planner helps me focus on my GOALS much more than my schedule.
I could continue to rant and rave, but instead I think I’ll complete this review using some prompts that I received from The Hero’s Journal team.
1) What were you using to plan and track your goals prior to The Hero's Journal?
I wasn’t! The superficial beauty of this product is that it makes personal growth interesting and fun. I hate making schedules, I hate planning my day, and I hate doing chores. Not anymore! What used to be a chore is now a side quest. What used to be a to-do list is now a plan of attack. I have never in my life felt as motivated to plan and track my goals as I do with The Hero’s Journal.
2) What made you willing to try us out?
I am a huge fan of LOTR, D&D, and all things fantasy, and I have struggled with ADHD and depression for all of my life. As such, I was super interested when I saw an ad for The Hero’s Journal. They sent me a free PDF preview, and that’s when I realized that this product is much, much more than just a fun way to look at your goals. It is a genuinely well thought out and helpful product. Even if this was an ordinary planner, the formatting of the journal would make it leagues more useful to me than any other planner I’ve seen thus far.
3) Have you enjoyed your experience with us?
ABSOLUTELY! In just one day, The Hero’s Journal got me off of my butt and taking care of a task that I’ve been putting off for over a month now. Coloring in the art in the journal is so fun, and the daily planner makes me feel genuinely motivated to achieve my goals and “level up” as a person.
Thank you to everyone at The Hero’s Journal team! I fully plan to start incorporating the side quest deck into my daily life soon as well. Here’s to a wonderful journey through the lands of Istoria!

I absolutely love the Hero's Journal - "The Land of Istoria." This journal has become an essential part of my daily routine, helping me stay organized and focused on what truly matters. It's a fantastic tool that seamlessly combines various elements to yield the best results.
The journal's design is ingenious, weaving together gratitude, identifying allies and threats, listing the three most important tasks for the day, and providing ample space for brainstorming. This multifaceted approach is what sets it apart and makes it such a valuable companion in my everyday life.
The gratitude section allows me to start each day on a positive note, fostering a sense of appreciation for what I have. The allies and threats section helps me navigate my daily challenges with clarity, while the three main things to do section keeps me on track and ensures I prioritize my tasks effectively.

Hello!
I Love the journal. I am a pencil and paper person.
I pull it our whenever I have a few minutes.
I am using the Adventure Journal for mental/emotional development, promotion of my music teaching studio, and projects on my teaching and home space.
I am already feeling better.
Thanks!

Blank journals always give me anxiety. I know intellectually that journalling is supposed to help in general with mental health and specifically with achieving goals but I always struggled to know what to write.
So my favorite part of this journal is actually the structure of the daily pages. It gives you guidance on what to write down and while there's a little room to ramble should you so desire, you can make lists or just write the minimum.
I also find coloring in each page surprisingly soothing. It's mine and I am coloring it as much or as little as I feel like, to try to practice their advice that not everything has to be perfect.
Choosing between The Legend of Istoria and the other two options was difficult, so I'm grateful they had the sample pages available to download. I had been leaning towards the sci-fi one but something about the way failure is an actual visible shadow here caught my imagination.
So far I'm only a few pages in but I'm enjoying the low pressure, high structure environment. It really helps that I know my journal is encouraging me to take my time. Which feels weird to say, but there you go.
Overall I'm glad I took the chance, the physical quality is high and I'm having a good, relaxed time with it.

I usually have a really hard time with planners and journals and such because my ADHD keeps me from completing tasks that don’t give my brain enough dopamine. With this journal, though, it combines one of my interests (dungeons and dragons) with a coloring book (I freaking LOVE coloring books), and in doing so, keeps me interested enough to actually WANT to complete each page. Granted, I’ve only used it for a few days, but so far I really do love it. It’s the first daily journal I’ve used where I haven’t skipped a day. :)
Dallas D.
Oh my gosh this whole business is so wonderful! I bought the wrong PDF jornal and side quest deck on accident and customer service was WONDERFUL when it came to helping me out with that, this is my second order from them and I am loving it as well! I've been using the jornal to help myself make more friends, and its actually really helped to see my little goals for the day, and to be able to check them off is so satisfying!!
10/10 will for sure buy more in the future!!

I have had The Hero’s Journal on my radar for about a year now. When my not so successful journaling subscription ended, I thought it was finally time to try something new. I play a lot of rpg-style video games and I am a DM for my D&D group, so I thought The Hero’s Journal would be right up my alley, and I was so right. I prep my pages the day before with what I know is coming up and do some light colouring of the scenery. Day of, I finish colouring the page while I contemplate my day and whether I achieved my goals. It’s been a fun experience so far and has really helped carve out some me time in my day.

I came upon this journal right as I was preparing for ankle surgery to repair a ligament to hopefully get me through one last 100 mile race (I have a very rad orthopedic surgeon) before having a more extensive surgery (arthritis sucks).
5 days post surgery I’ve been keeping on track of my daily goals to ward of boredom with the bonus of getting some coloring done. This journal will get me through the first 6 weeks (non-weight bearing … which also sucks) and through PT.
Then I’ll pick up the next 2 journals to get me through training and if anll goes well, across the finish line next August.
This has been an absolutely delightful find. I try to avoid social media, but came across it on one of the few occasions I logged in.
Thank you for a well designed, easy to use, and fun journal (for any age - I’m not as spry as I once was) to help this temporary wounded explorer become a future heroine .
Roylan M.
Have had my journal now a couple days and so far so good. Pages feel very high quality. Definitely no bleeding through with different pens. Easy to use daily, but also can skip days as needed. Outside is like a canvas-type cloth material set on a hard surface underneath. Should hold up fairly well. Comes in a very nice case/box to protect it during shipping.
All together, so far it is working for me as intended, and is very high quality. :)
Harley W.
I writing in the Istoria Magic Academy and this one and I love it. I've even bought it as b-day presents. But I found that it helps my distress after a long day both by writing and drawing in it. It is perfect for people who love aventurine games or D&D it has a good storyline in it. The creators did I fantastic job!
Heather W.
So this is my second journal! I'm someone who has never had good luck using journals no matter how much I like the aesthetics of them, but this one stuck!! I'm so thrilled the format has worked out for me. I was using it for school in the Istria magic academy now I have my legend of Istoria for improving my general well being :) the format being centered around a quest as well as the flexibility of where you write stuff really helps! As well as being dateless for whe I miss a day. Two things of less fun note though. 1. The linen cover is pretty but a dog hair attractant (and really any loose fibers) and the pretty gold design smudges off eventually. This was a disappointment as I wasn't subjecting the journal to any intense wear and tear outside of using it daily and carrying it in a backpack. Also, I really loved the flexibility of writing notes wherever so I don't like that the legend of istoria has a place where it says 'notes' that's my side quest panel thank you very much! But no really despite that this product is absolutely worth the money and both my productivity AND my mental health have increased with its aid :)

I am 72 and locked in a routine of work (Yes, I am still employed!), home and repeat. As so many of my previous co-workers/teachers have retired, and some sadly have passed, I recognize my years for work and play are becoming limited. For econimic reasons my son and DIL are living with me in my downsized, Senior community house. So things are a big bit cramped and cluttered. Just going home to clean and tidy up is phenominally boring/discouraging so to get the task done it needed to be brought up to the level of Adventure! My Quests, including enliveing my social life are 'poked' into action using the journal. While i really can't write every day, I do make myself sit and write 4x weekly. And with school starting, I will have to force myself until the Back To School frenzy subsides. But - So Far, So Good! Meileen

I'm a sucker for a journal/planner. I love the theme of this one. It cries out to the part of me that loves adventure stories and quests, sitting around a table and rolling dice, and other things of that nature. Understand that if you stripped this pf the theme you would still have a pretty effective undated daily planner. It will not go into as much detail as some other planners on the market. For example, you won't have time slots for every day. But for my style, it's simple enough where I can use what's there and freestyle more things. Truth be told I've used more complex planners and just ended up not using all the slots etc. It always boiled down to what this journal offers: goals for the day, a to do list to reach the goals, and things that will help and hinder me. Add the theme and it makes for an enjoyable experience. Will be buying again.
Juliann N.
I decided to get a hero’s journal because it seems like a fun way to set a 3-month goal and actually work little by little to get it done. So far I really love the instructions and tutorials on how to get the most out of your journal. Currently want to focus on being more productive at work. Will definitely get another when I’m done!
Norm H.
1) What were you using to plan and track your goals prior to The Hero's Journal?
Nothing. Just winging it or randomly and rarely writing a to-do list.
2) What made you willing to try us out?
Actually, it was an advertisement of the side quest deck. It looked interesting and something I could really use to keep me motivated.
3) Have you enjoyed your experience with us?
Yes, most definitely.
Jake
I highly enjoy the different journaling style rather than just blank pages.
Aubrey B.
I got this to give myself something to look forward to so I can be consistent with Journaling. So far I absolutely LOVE this one. The whole premise of it being an adventure drew me in, but I love that nothing is colored in. It gives me a chance to decompress after a long day and also just have time away from my devices for as long as it takes for me to color. I also love the allies and threats sections. Celebrate the wins and watch what threatens success to be mindful. Overall an amazing product!
Cale
Well made, well designed, and fun to plan! I’ve been using hero’s journals for a few years now and will keep coming back! So thankful to the hero’s journal (and planner) team!
Jennifer F.
I love writing in my journal and appreciate that I get to enter the dates. When I use it in the morning, it challenges me to get more out of my day - and start my day on a positive note. And sometimes I do a little coloring, too, which is relaxing and makes me happy! This is a great producr!
Kelley B.
Journaling isn't really my thing, but I got this on a whim after discussing the idea of journaling with my therapist. This journal looked cool so I bought it and figured it'd just probably end up in the corner of my room. When I opened the box, I could not be more wrong!
This journal is FANTASTIC! I never had a journal that has helped me to break down goals, been so user friendly and fun to use, and the fact there's a storyline, and the absolute beauty and craftsmanship of the journal itself, made it absolutely irresistible. Even though I just purchased it, I know it will be used every day and certainly not thrown in a corner.
For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to spending a few minutes a day with my journal.
Gabriel D.
I’m enjoying the journey. Having fun coloring and setting intentions while having Starbucks and playing video games. Life is good :)
Dennica F.
Love this already. My mom, sister and I are working on it together and supporting each other with these journals! I’m really excited to get going.
Emily K.
Hoping this one sticks because I completely adore it and is so wonderful different from every other planner/journal I've tried!!
Kris B.
I just started my first journal, but I already love it and want to continue. I love the sections to focus on things I’m grateful for, especially, since I have struggled with that my entire life. I’m also happy with the little bits of artwork that I’ve wanted to color in, too. Wonderful, high quality journal, and I’m already planning my next one.
Sylvie P.
My son recommended this journal to me and so far I love it. Having guidance in the process is a huge help. I also like that I can add my personal touch to the pages. I will likely buy another volume once I’m finished with this one.
Velta W.
It turns out that reframing my challenges into interesting and exciting quests was what it took for me to start to tackle all the things I've been procrastinating on for so long! Somehow I've learned to uncover the bravery (that's always been there, but hidden) to deal with things I've wanted to avoid, but know I needed to do. Taking time to identify obstacles daily has been key. In my mind, each obstacle becomes a dragon that i either need to tame, cajole, or slay using the allies I identify daily too. I really needed this!
Nizhoni H.
I always hesitate when it comes to journals - so many years of untouched and half finished diaries and notebooks has made me think that maybe keeping a daily record is just not for me. However, with about two weeks left in my journal to complete, I can say with confidence that I just hadn’t found the right approach. The Hero’s Journal does such a good job of helping you not only romanticize your own life and in a way, gamify it, but it also helps you track your own growth and goals. My partner is maybe an even bigger fan of the journal than I am, and we have both seen progress in the way I handle stress and anxiety on a day to day basis. I love being able to color in the illustrations, and the prompts making me reflect on my “journey” and past week are very eye opening. I sincerely recommend this journal to anyone looking to hold themselves accountable in day to day life. Not to exaggerate but this may be the best purchase I have ever made.
Robert F.
I had been considering buying a Hero’s Journal for a while and finally decided to take the plunge. The journal itself is beautiful and of a very high quality - that alone justifies the purchase. I’m still working on my quest but if it helps me there all the better. I can say that only after a few days of using it I already feel more engaged with my life. Very happy with it.
Cynthia C.
Finally, I admitted to myself that I am at the jumping off place of depression. I am thankful I was able to recognize it all before it became a real problem. It was then, almost immediately, I found this Hero's Journal stuff. I can see recovery in it, and cognitive behavior therapy in it, occupational therapy. All good stuff. I am excited to give this all a try.
Debbie J.
Love this productivity journal! I'm using it on my quest to become more Zero Waste. Seize the day goals are especially helpful and I love all the details on each page.
Tamara G.
I'm enjoying working through the pages with the prompts. They help to focus my plan for the next three months. The daily pages cute art is inspiring, and there is still plenty of room for me to have all the sections that I typically have on a dot journal page--so I can keep it customized to me.
I'm experimenting with keeping my collections in a separate notebook--we'll see how that goes.
Varun G.
A great journal to explore thoughts with! Lovely paper and quality. Looking forwards to my next one!

I love it! I've always wanted to journal but just couldn't get started. The Hero journal is awesome.
Ryan
A bit confusing in the beginning but once you get into the habit of writing every day it becomes worth it's price tag
Anna H.
The hero's yournal is the first time Im trying anything like it and untill further notice it seems to work pretty well I always describe my goals for the next day because I don't have enough time in the morning and it has given me more structure in my day to day live.
Jessica R.
I love this journal! I have been trying for years to bullet journal and never kept up with it. This helps me stay focused on a goal, and I look forward to journaling every morning to get my day started. Im incredibly proud that Ive been able to journal consistently, and I love the content, questions, and prompts. I cant wait to achieve my goal and move on to a new goal and journal.
Gabrielle D.
I got this journal to help me stay focused and for motivation. I have ADHD and viewing every day like an adventure makes it easier to be stuck in an office all day. I have used this journal for a week now. I enjoy the pictures and I take time each day to also color each page. I have an overall goal of just using my time more wisely and writing out my goal every day helps me to stay focused. I love this journal and highly recommend it for anyone who likes the idea of journalling, but not necessarily free writing your thoughts. Anyone who needs some tool to help them focus on their goals. And of course people who like fantasy/RPGs. The paper is thick, but it did bleed through a bit when I used markers on it. No issues with using regular pens though. It feels like a regular book and looks exactly like the pictures.
Aaron
Very well made and nicely laid out. Also is nice to go back and color in at the end of the day because of the black and white illustrations.
Derek
It’s fabulous. A wonderful way to start a new journeyL
Daphne K.
Prior to using The Hero's Journal, I was using a basic diary to plan and track my goals. It worked all right, but I was getting bored! I wanted something that would motivate me more but also add some fun to my day. This is why I considered The Hero's Journal. I wanted to "gamify" my life! This journal does just that. It is way more interactive than a basic diary, so I am glad I made the purchase.
3) Have you enjoyed your experience with us?
Catherine F.
Two things sold me: the online quiz and the free pages. I was pretty skeptical, but I took the quiz, and as a huge LOTR fan, I thought may-y be-e. I probably still would have passed, if not for the free pages. I downloaded them and started brainstorming. That's when I decided to buy.
Cody
I’ve yet to miss a day. It’s been great for holding myself accountable
Harley W.
I love writing in it and uncovering the story!
Meri
Amazing packaging, beautiful cover and pages. I'm excited to start my journey!
Tyler H.
I purchased the Hero’s Journal Legend of Istoria bundle (Journal and Side Quest Deck) as a gift for my girlfriend. She loves it and I love it too. The quality of the journal is fantastic. I was a little apprehensive at first because of the price, but after receiving my journal I can see that it was well worth it. The side quest deck is also a great companion to the journal. There’s something oddly satisfying about being able to pull random cards with things to do on them. It makes some of the more mundane tasks of day to day life just that much more exciting. If you’re a fan of Lord of The Rings/DnD type fantasy settings, and you enjoy using journals/planners to keep organized, I would definitely recommend this product.
Christopher S.
Great First Impression and Motivation!
Although I just received a Hero's Journal I am very impressed with the materials and depth of thought that was out into this journal.
I believe it was the book Tools of Titans or one of Tim's books that brought up journaling and how it can clear the mind. I have tried journaling a couple times but nothing has stuck. I bought this journal with the goal to journal everyday and I guess we will just have to see.
Erin S.
Ive always struggled with finding to keep my self organized. Regular planners live for about 2 to 3 days maybe a week, before my brain is soo cluttered ive forgotten why i got it. Your Hero's Journal is the first one that makes planning and organizing my goals an actual possibility. I can take my time with really attempting where i want my quest to go and know its okay if it changes or morphs into something unexpected. I love that its a journey, and for the first time in a while its a journal that is holding my interest.
Isaac P.
Love the journal so far! Using to keep track and motivate me while I work on releasing my first 2D Videogame.
Tiffany W.
I've just begun, really looking forward to using this journal. I think it's going to be a really nice way of making my day feel a little bit brighter.
Cris S.
I picked up a Hero's Journal after seeing the Quincy's Tavern Tik Tok video about it and I'm glad I have one. The story telling is very cute (without pandering) and the structure is simple enough to not get overwhelmed or dissuaded from using it. I'm only two days in but I'm really going to try and do the full 90 days. Really loving it so far and totally recommend it.
Theresa
Daughter loves it.
Rebecca
This journal is creative and fun to use without becoming boring. My goals are vague, but it's still helping me achieve them.
Amanda
Definitely a really neat way to journal! Love this
Cierra V.
I love my Legend of Istoria quest guide! I have the dragon fire red color and it is super bright. The pages don't bleed through, and so far I have been using it every day. It doesn't feel like a chore and I love not knowing what will be on the next page. I am using mine to build productive habits and complete tasks I have NO interest in doing. I love it and will get another one the second I finish it. Thank you so much! I will never buy another planner again!
Jeffrey
I write in it pretty often it’s a shame only 90 entries tho
Stephen E.
I've had the journal for about three days now. I find very easy to use and great for my PTSD and ADHD. I absolutely love it. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Megan
I absolutely love it! It helps me stay on track with my goals.
Marz S.
Going from bullet journaling in a regular journal to this guided story is amazing. Every time I'd stop bullet journaling it was because I didn't want to take the time to sit down and set up my pages. This journal gives you present pages in a unique and creative way. Both the changing detailed pictures and the story acts and progression are able to maintain your attention and love for journalling.
Emily P.
For three years I have used the Dragon Tree Apothecary’s “Dreambook” planner as a tool to make sense out of my retirement years. But as it is not in the nature of this retiree to plan out a ten year vision for self, career, and family development, I wasn’t using the planner as it is intended. I would bog down in trying to plan for too many objectives. I still like it for keeping track of appointments, deadlines for my volunteer work and so forth.
But I have a dream that I kept sidetracking for two decades. I aim to learn to play my banjo. I recognized that I was shooting myself in the foot by inventing every excuse on the planet to excuse myself from that scary effort at which I could fail and be disappointed…
Your Hero’s Journal (s) are perfect for providing shape, direction, and accountability to this yearning. I am Bilbo Baggins on quest to outmaneuver Smaug, find the Arkenstone, use it to broker peace, then return home to plant a seed of peace from Beorn’s garden. Pete Seeger was my flesh-and-blood hero and I aim to wield my banjo as he did.
I think the ninety day framework, about a semester’s worth of time, is perfect for establishing milestone’s on my journey. I look forward to using my three journals in sequence as the scope and details of my banjo quest unfold.
Lyn
These are SOO well done!!! I love the way it's a story! I have ADHD and I like the way I can start and stop since there is no dates in it. And love coloring the pages!!! I purchased all 3 journals with the pdf files to them as a bundle... So far I'm loving them!!!!
Caitlin E.
Finally something to use with my cross stitched Hobbit bookmark!
The staff/support of this company is beyond compare. I got this journal to help with my ADHD and get me out of the house more/meet goals. I have a bad habit of stopping and starting journals and have 8 half finished ones in my closet - they’re gorgeous but they’re collecting dust.
Anyway, this looked fun and I saw another reviewer said it was good for those with ADHD.
I accidentally ordered twice (got too excited and pressed a button twice or something). I pointed it out to the customer support and they refunded my money, no questions asked. They were exceedingly helpful, friendly, and worked quickly to resolve the matter.
Started my journal last night and the quality is superb. The intro is so gripping but simple and poignant. It’s accessible for everyone from the English major/Tolkien scholar to a child just learning to journal. The questions are engaging and thought-provoking.
Get this. It’s worth every cent and I am not even on page 4 yet!
Tabitha E.
I really love this concept of a journal with a character who follows a story - I love all things fantasy and that aspect of this journal makes me actually excited to use it!
Fred H.
I love my Hero's Journal. I've never tried using a daily journal to set a goal and track my progress but this sure is an easy and fun way to do it.
Miranda A.
I found out about The Hero's Journal through the YouTube channel How to ADHD, and my ADHD brain loves it!!!!
Nicole
I try to do one of these journals a couple times a year. They’re absolutely beautiful.
Alycia
The writing feels like it’s for younger audience. It’s been a fun and playful way to try to reach my goals, but the narration is a little simple.
Alicia
Wonderful, high quality materials and paper means I can color and fill this planner out with a variety of different pens, pencils, and highlighters with minimal to no ink bleed.
The concept is wonderful and I find myself excited to open up a new page and jot down notes for the day in the morning and evening.
The page layout is what I'm particularly excited about. The sections of the page were thoughtfully chosen to make it quick and simple to fill out. Not too overwhelming or daunting, but enough space to remind you of your north star goals jot down a quick daily timeline, plan ahead for what might stand in your way or what might help push you to success, and with nice illustrations ready to be colored in. All-in-all a great product. I so suggest checking out their YouTube videos for more info and inspiration.
Zerina F.
1) What were you using to plan and track your goals prior to The Hero's Journal?
I've been bullet journaling for years but it was time consuming to create spreads every month/week.
2) What made you willing to try us out?
I saw an ad on Google and for once it was something that interested me! I love journals and collect a bunch that I don't use...I enjoy RPGs so this just made sense for me to get!
3) Have you enjoyed your experience with us?
Absolutely. I saw their YT channel where they talk about the journal and it all resonated with me. I love it!
Jessica S.
I love this product! It helps me feel more organized to take on my day. I was drawn to it originally because of my love for all things DND!
Andy Q.
I am someone who constantly seeks to improve in general, and also seeks to specifically improve my organizational and habitual systems. I have tried many planners. I have found a bullet journal to be amazing for my bigger picture needs but for daily planning/prioritizing/scheduling THIS is the best planner ever and I am now sold for the foreseeable future. It has an amazing daily spread that helps me stay focused, positive, and locked in on my bigger picture goals. It has enough space for me to add my daily schedule if needed, extra notes, meal planning, and something I've been adding has been a little storytelling bit of writing to enhance the creative and storytelling nature of the journal. I'll write from my little hero's perspective and flesh out the story even more. I also enjoy coloring so I try to color the section the character is in every day so the colors move with it's progression :) As a DND fan, I also have to say that the stat boosts as part of reflection pages are SO fun and motivating. It is just such a thoughtful and cute design. You will be so happy you invested in yourself!
Ashley N.
I’m so excited to start my adventure! I love the set up for gratitude and allies and threats. And when I’ve completed my quest, it’ll be great on my bookcase to reminisce.
Theta R.
Love the set up of these journals! They approach journaling from a nontoxic perspective with some structure to get the day started, but not so much or little that it’s daunting. The story line is thought provoking (if followed) with daily quotes that are positive and inspiring. The artwork is beautiful and can absentmindedly colored while thinking about the day.
The journals are beautifully made (I have eight ). The fly leaves are lovely and I especially appreciate the addition of a pocket at the back and the ribbon bookmark.
This is the first time I’ve used one of the hardbound editions, Adventure Edition. I have been through two pdf printed versions and I have two suggestions for the hardbound versions: 1) make the bindings lay flat, it’s hard to write on the left page inside edge 2) a large print edition
Amber G.
I just got it and am looking forward to writing!
Tyler
Love these guys. I’ve completed 1 already but there is just something about the journals that I really feel like I’m doing something and it helps day to day.
Joseph S.
I have started seeing add's for the Hero product sometime last year. I thought the look and design looked different but cool since it set up more like a story or a game. I am a gamer and i love a good story. so I love everything about this so far and I probably will be back around again for more stuff. right now I am going to be working on myself , bettering myself.
Carter
Great quality, fast service and loving this product so far.
Agata G.
It's a very nice journal, as I was hoping, with a very nice box, which was an unexpected extra. Before purchase, I tired the free pages to see what the approach was and whether it was compatible with my general beliefs about life. I have found it it to be helpful and freeing while also providing structure to how I think about my days, based on what I find most important. Another great extra: The emails with letters from the Mentor, which are helping me expand my understanding of how I can be thinking about my life and my goals. In short, this product is a fun, visually pleasing, and draws on a breadth of research and human experience. Thank you for all the work that has gone into it.
Philip
Very well put together! I’m looking forward to using this 90-day journal!
Bethany D.
I’m on my fourth day of filling it out and I love it. I take it out with me when I go get coffee or to work with me and fill things out as I go. It’s been a great way to help me stay on track with my goals.
Bonnie
So beautifully bound! Great journal and planner. And FUN!!!
Ashley H.
This journal is so cute. I have never been great at keeping a journal. Previously, when I'd try to write, my mind would go blank OR I'd only use it to rant frustration -- never capturing positivity or goals Because this one uses an adventure theme it feels like writing small bits of a story. The pages are broken into a series of prompts that help keep me focused on a more holistic view of where I am and where I'm going. The side quest decks are a fun addition, assisting in some variety in my day to day activities. I highly recommend this for people of all ages who are looking for a unique journal.
Laura
Really good quality. This journal will be so fun the do!

Excellent product. I have engaged with many of these concepts separately, but the format of the Hero’s Journal really feels like it will help me maintain consistency while self-guided through using skills and I will have ample opportunity for mindful creativity while adding my flair to the pages.
While doing an intensive therapy program, many of the same activities were used, including 3 things I am grateful for each day, setting overarching and daily goals, conceptualizing mental health issues, and mindfulness activities including coloring and journaling. I am impressed at how many evidence based tools used in such programs are packed into such a cute and well put together package in the Hero’s Journal.
Another tool I have used to track goals is Habitica, which feels like it has a similar fantasy vibe. Some aspects have been very overlapping, such as a prompt I chose to think of my challenges as foes and my strengths as a hero to fight them. I think the Hero’s Journal and Habitica provide different roles though and I hope to use them in concert.

This journal has been the best way I as a divergent person and a fantasy lover I’ve been able to keep track of my tasks from my day. Love it.

I always said I was going to” but I never made a plan! I saw this journal on Facebook and I was intrigued by the Quest aspect…must be the English Lit teacher in me. I have so enjoyed getting started on my “going to” and at 63 years of age I’m going on an adventure!!!

I saw the ad for this journal on Facebook and thought about it over New Years. Finally I bought one and its Side Quest deck and I am blown away by the quality. I wanted something I could use to track my goals and this is perfect. Thank you!

I couldn't pick it up right away, but when I could the journal is so cool to use! Being able to color in it and work out how my day would go makes me really happy to use it!

I love the illustrations. From the moment you open the journal you feel like you are jumping into your own adventure. And there is no pressure to make every day exciting or filled to the top. It helps me stay focused on what is important while not feeling overwhelmed. I'm so excited to use this in it's entirety.

Hi, thanks for writing to me.
I was using a lineless rule-less journal to track my thoughts, and unfortunately since I have ADHD, it was very difficult to organize my thoughts because of how big the blank page was.
The Hero’s Journal is perfect because it feels purposeful and novel, and fun! I make it a habit now to use it every single day, which actually helps me keep my priorities straight. I think it’s a powerful tool for people who are on the spectrum to steady their chaotic minds. Hope this helps.
Thanks again!

I love the ADVENTURE aspect of this journal. I just kept an endless list before, and it didn't inspire me, even on days when I "got a lot done". Now I feel purposeful and I'm having FUN!
