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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Daniel F.
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.
Nik K.
Love this style of journal!
Bonnie R.
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!!!
William D.
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!
Jay N.
What a wonderful idea, creative, inspiring and helpful. Great job on this journal. I've started already and looking forward to the successful adventures ahead!
Shareya R.
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!
Luis Q.
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!
Lorraine T.
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!
Angela L.
I love the journal- the detail is amazing and I love the idea of tracking my schedule and responsibilities as quests. I have been using the law of attraction planner for several years because I like the layout of the weekly pages. I plan on using the the daily pages more as weekly pages, so having the date slashes makes it more difficult to write the week. The only other thing I could ask for is a calendar. A booklet themed to the storyline that could be inserted into the journal and transferred to the next one that has all the months in it would be amazing. Thank you so much for such a fun way to plan my weeks and set goals for myself!
Elizabeth J.
Queen Elyzardbeth had been using a similar sized sketchbook to create a monthly calendar since January 2019. She started by creating a budget tracker, where was her money going?! Then she thought she could record the recipes she liked. Nothing seemed to stick.
One day, she came across the Mentor. He insisted she obtain a copy of the Hero's Journal. "PISH POSH!" She declared, "I shall make my own!" But where to start? As her monthly calendars became more and more crowded with which tenants she must check on each day, how much alcohol she was consuming each day, and two other notebooks to record to do lists, recipes, and shopping lists she had had enough!
Greedily she purchased not only a journal but all three side quests for days with an open schedule. On one of her many travels she purchased stencils and colored pencils to bring the journal to life. While writing her name with a Rembrandt Projection pen, she was disheartened to see that it bled through the pages, however she has found that with this journal she is perfectly content to eat frogs all day, no matter the size.
Abby A.
The most beautiful journal I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to start using it!
A.J. H.
My partner loves it and is looking forward to her adventure!
Dax V.
Beautiful, quality journal with great illustrations and a fun theme. Love that it's designed without pre-dated pages, meaning it's forgiving and accepting if you need to take a day or two off from journaling. Only wish is that there is more room for notes on the daily pages, but the notes section in the back kind of makes up for this. However, I don't really like lined notebooks, so I wish I had the option to choose between a notes section that is dotted or lined. These are little suggestions, though. Overall the journal is lovely and I'm glad I bought it :)
Emma P.
I have tried every type of journal/planning there is. This is the only one that has worked for me.
Mary A.
I bought one journal earlier this year & found it held me accountable to my journey. When you had the bundles on sale, I purchased one of each type & cannot wait to start using them. I'll be finished with my current journal right at the end of this year.
Love the Daily Inspirations & the Daily Gratitudes which help provide inspiration along the way. I highly recommend.
Natalie R.
I do adore the journal and how it's laid out. I adore all of its pieces. The only reason I haven't started using it directly yet is because I have a planner/journal subscription through Silk & Sonder that I absolutely love, too. It is elegant and already gorgeously decorated.
Yet my thirst for adventure and my love of tabletop RPGs has me oggling over the Hero's Journal. It's fantastic how each week's spread has minute changes to the images to depict the story. I love that every page is a coloring page. I just don't have -THAT- much free time for it, yet. I juggle so much and it doesn't have the space (full time student, full time job, caretaker, head of household, and girlfriend). So far, I've adapted the pieces into my current journal subscription and I am saving the Hero's Journals I bought for when I'm out of school and have a lot less going on all at once.
This journal is special and I gifted one to my friend who struggles so hard with focusing. She has a habit of wanting to escape through reading, watching shows, and playing games. I'm hoping and wishing that this Hero's Journal will hone her in and help her reorient her perspective of difficult situations she faces.
Sophia S.
I started and i am so excited to see where it takes me. The quality is gorgeous and overall so happy
Lisa L.
It's a planner/gratitude journal/notebook/coloring book all in one, and I love it.
DIANE B.
This is a Christmas present for my daughter. It was something she had on her wish list. She is very cold oriented, so I am quite sure she will enjoy this when she gets it.
Nuka Falke D.
This book is so well made, that I am looking forward to writing and drawing in it every day. And that makes it really easy for me to take the time to plan my day, sort my priorities and reflect about my feelings and needs.
Coloring in the pages is a good reminder to take a break. And the weekly reflection helps me acknowlegde my progress and sparks new motivation.
Also the detailed guide to define my quest helped me to not just pick a good goal, but also phrase it in a way that reminds me of how deeply important that goal is to me.
Ryan H.
This is the best idea for introverts that I've ever seen. I love this so much!
Liz R.
This journal has been exactly what I needed. I stopped smoking/drinking a little over a month ago, and really needed a tool to help me form some new, healthy habits. Having something to help me define my goals, motivate me, and hold me accountable has been extremely helpful. Being able to chart progress and check off boxes has given me a sense of purpose and satisfaction I sorely needed. The adorable artwork and ability to color the illustrations has been a huge bonus, and a great way to unwind at the end of the day. Overall, this has improved my daily life and made my big lifestyle changes far more manageable.
Jennifer A.
I feel so much more accomplished since starting my quest! It's really helped me keep track of myself and my goals in a fun way. I saw the suggestions of coloring the pages from another reviewer, and I've been having so much fun coloring in each day as I complete my tasks.
Joshua F.
Honestly it would be such a shame to have to fill the pages in itself, I reckon what i could do is have a blank notebook and follow its format, I tend to do that with many things, that way they last, 1 set of 91 days seems like I'd wanna do more with it. I haven't started it just yet I'm leaving it for the start of the new year, but I reckon I will follow along in a secondary notebook just so it can remain something and not just be something I tuck away after it gets filled in.
Katherine C.
Love this journal. I've only been writing in it for a few days but it's already starting to help me with my mindfulness, and helping me develop some better habits. Thank you so much.
Dalia S.
Ive been using this journal a week and I have been more productive in those days than previous months. I am trying to produce a show and have made meaningful steps already. I am excited to use the journal every day and have enjoyed coloring it in as well.
Jenika P.
My daughter is 24, a huge D&D fan, and loves all things fantasy. I have been searching far and wide for Christmas gifts that are meaningful and beautifully made, and I feel like I have struck gold with "The Hero's Journal!" It literally arrived in the mail two days after I placed my order, and was very nicely packaged. The box the journal comes in (see photo) is top quality and will be a beautiful place for her to store the finished journal. I will send more photos after she opens it on Christmas, but in the meantime, I am now thinking about getting the Magical School Journal for my other daughter to avoid Christmas Day jealousy!
Tiffany S.
Have tried more planners than I can say. Love the fun to this and coloring !! The geek in me is in heaven
Katie K.
I play D&D and I really enjoyed this one. I will be giving this to a fellow D&D and journaling friend for Christmas.
Teresa A.
At first I was planning to use this journal to motivate me to have more fun with project planning and editing my first book. But, I've ended up enjoying using it everyday because of the gorgeous visuals and storyline. I also use it for projects that involve a lot of tasks to check off. I haven't even used it to for my book yet, but when my schedule allows me, I look forward to it! This is a very motivating planner!
Katherine O.
We got the set of 3 for our son’s Bar Mitzvah year preparation. This will be our fifth attempt at using a planner. So far it is going 10x better than previous planners. He is very happy to sit and doodle with me while we talk about what he wants to do with his day and his life.
Frank H.
Tried the moleskin blank journals but it became more of a to do list than a journal
Just fell in love with the quest and hero concept. Also a fan of the Tolkien, Rowlings genre. Love the quotes too!
Even at the ripe age of 64, I still want to be a hero in my story!
Dayne W.
Whether you plan to take over a kingdom or become the king you are; planning is key, and perseverance it’s key chain. Locks are everywhere but keys are rare. This is a pretty good key in my book.
CATHERINE D.
I know The Hero's Journal almost since it came out but at that time it was not shipping to Canada so I bought a PDF version when it was available. I didn't thought about it much again since I was using it that way and then I saw it on Tik Tok with the magic and SF ones and thought hey why not look if they ship here now. So I went a little crazy when I saw it's now shipping here and bought all three because I love paper planners way more than digital one. I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM. They're perfect and I recommend 100%!
Sarah H.
After 20 years of being cook, chauffeur, coach, cheer leader, maid, and all of the other titles that go with being a Mom, I suddenly found myself with an empty house and no recollection of what I used to do with my time. I bought the Hero's Journal to help me find my new passion and joy, plus help me overcome a few fears I found along the way. My children are my life, but I am curious to see what else my life can be.
katelyn f.
I got the journal to help with my depression. I found it on TikTok and it's exciting that it's quest style because a regular journal gave me no motivation.
I'm most excited for the cards as it will assign me something to do instead of me putting it off because I don't feel like it.
I love that it's not colored so I can do it myself while watching videos.
The quality is amazing!
Rola A.
I've been struggling to journal or keep any tracking done lately... Having a LOTR-esque theme really intrigued me, and the graphics sparked my interest in colouring again .
I only have a bit of time at the weekends for it, so the non dated pages are a plus, but hopefully and fingers crossed, I'll be able to build the habit of journaling again
LaToya N.
Absolutely Love This Hero Journal. Love the Quality Service and Fast Shipping. Just Superb Business. I'm already planning to place orders for my children who love my book.
Rebecca S.
I am at a transition in my life and wanted a way to encourage a beneficial movement into new territory than a stuckness in the unknown. I have never been one to set goals, and honestly balked at the idea when forced to do it in school as a kid/teen. But this is for me. So I'm trying it out. So far I love the different ways each page engages my head and my heart.
Jamie E.
I love this Journal. It allows me to plan and stay on track.
Christian M.
To date, I have gifted seven of these journals to people in various professions, all of which use them for work notes and personal journaling. Figured it was time to finally get myself one!
Maya G.
I love the journal! It is a great place to gather my thoughts and try new challenges. I am sure I will buy another one as a gift or for my next adventure.
Emily P.
I love the Hero’s Journal! It is the first planner/journal I’ve ever completed. I stumbled upon them them I was preparing a lesson about the hero’s journey, and was intrigued right from the get go. Not only does it satisfy the nerd in me, I’ve found it incredibly helpful when I was diagnosed with adult adhd. 10/10 I recommend this journal to everyone!
Sabrina W.
Super fun journal, I’d been eying this for a while cause I really liked the idea of making everyday an adventure. I just started using it but so far, I think it’s great! The art is beautiful and every page will make good coloring. The quality of the paper is really nice too. I think it will be nicely motivating!
Jacky W.
I am so pleasantly surprised with this journal! My therapist recommended it, and someone mentioned it had also been featured on How To ADHD, so I figured it had to be worth checking out at least. I will say that I have never had a planner last to day 4, so having myself on Chapter 2 now feels surreal! It has had such a huge impact in just the last week alone. The introduction pages made me feel so safe and validated--it's a very honest journal, and I appreciate that. On the daily pages, it balances being a journal/tool for self-reflection and a daily planner remarkably well. I feel excited every morning to fill out the next page! I don't have the time to color the pages like I'd like to; hopefully I will have the time at some point! Regardless, I see myself finishing this one and then buying many more!
Donnie R.
Before this journal I was not using anything. I was willing to try this out because I am a huge fan of dnd and adventure. I’m at a point in my college life where I am feeling stressed and overwhelmed, this journal has made such a difference in a positive way with keeping me organized and feeling better about my self :)
Nicky P.
I've just started using the journal over the past week and I adore it. I was so impressed with the physical quality when I first opened the box, but actually diving in each day is so much fun. Grabbing the side quest deck now!
Attie B.
I unfortunately can't add a photo to this review, it doesn't let me add anything But I want to say this journal is so helpful to me! I use one day page for the whole week, and it really helped to structure my days and gives me some fun coloring pages to boot
Jenson M.
I love the idea of setting and tracking goals with a journal, but I have always struggled to follow through. The Hero's Journal adds just enough fun and fantasy to keep it from feeling like a chore, while still being effective.
Sarah J.
Bough this because I wanted to try a new type of planner. Only recorded two days so far but I’ve been enjoying it
Melanie D.
This journal is amazing! Very high quality leather and paper, and it's very motivating towards your goal.
Ashlina C.
I love my wildwood green LOI hero journal! I already bullet journal for my career, but I wanted something a little more fun for my personal goals. My sister and coworker highly recommended the hero journal and after listening to Free Journal Friday for the first time, I immediately bought my journal. I am very much enjoying using it. I like the that it's hero themed 100%, e.g. naming my allies and threats each entry. It's helped me feel more grateful and proud during my quest.
Kody S.
This is my 3rd journal from The hero’s journal I had fallen in love with it immediately, there’s a great community that comes along with the journal too.
Patrick S.
It's gorgeous and the inspiration and guidance inside took me into deep thought about the months to come. Tha k you Heros Journal. Thank you.
Bryce M.
I’m in college and before this journal I used sticky notes or plain planners to try and stay organized and motivated, neither of those compare to how ADHD friendly The Hero’s Journal is. Additionally the quality and art work is just *muah* chefs kiss!
Matthew V.
I bought it as a gift and I realized I need one too.
Christopher B.
Love the journal! Fun way to stay organized as I start college.
Rebecca T.
I've tried a lot of journals in the past. But none held my attention for more than a day or two. This journal is fun, it's engaging, and since it is set up like a "quest", in a way feels like it has real purpose. I love the bound journal. It's well constructed and beautiful. I'm using the PDF print sheets since I like larger pages to write on and can use over and over but I still find myself going to the bound journal just for that "reading a journey" feeling.
Thank you so much for this journal. It's given me something I've been searching for.
Maria Luisa A.
I've now had a few days to work with the Hero's Journal (Chapter 1 complete!), and I'm very happy with it. I'm using it to plan part of a large writing project, and being able to break my goal down into parts and thinking about the things around me that can help or hinder me in the process has helped bring the anxiety down. And taking short breaks to color in the lovely artwork is also very soothing!
Molly P.
My experience with my Legend of Istoria Dragonfire Red journal has so many unique qualities one being the quest for my health and being more active it's up to me to know my threats of the day and the allies as well, and my quest has just begun.
Pamela E.
I love the pdf cause I can fill it out on my tablet and don’t need to mess up the beautiful book. It also allows me to erase more easily and redo things when I mess up so I can keep the book itself beautiful and pristine. Allowing us to have a fillable pdf with the book may just lead me to buy all of them! I’ve only managed to level up once so far tho. XD staying on the journey is hard. But the book is helping.
Brittany E.
I love my Hero’s Journal!! I got one for my 10 yr old daughter and we started them together. It has been a wonderful experience! I finished my first journal, and have received my new one. Also waiting for the galaxy of istoria bundle to arrive!
Nina F.
This thing is amazing. Not only does it look and feel so high quality, it has really helped with my ADHD like nothing else ever has. It must have something to do with every page being different and there being a story to it all that keeps the dopamine flowing! Well made, great concept, even better execution.
Kristie G.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my D&D lovin' son. I think he will love it, and I hope he will use it well. Looks terrific!
Kimberly S.
I am a long time journaler and have used many, MANY journals over the years. The Hero's Journal is very different than any journal I've ever used. I was surprised how quickly I was able to focus and narrow down my Quest. I feel happy when I interact with it and my goals seem more attainable. The quality is top notch and I love the Wildwood Green!
Jillian S.
I have been using this journal daily for just over two weeks and it really has brought me so much joy. I love the format, the daily quotes, the artwork, and that it encourages me to journal things I am grateful for and to be the hero of my own story. This journal functions as a daily planner as well as a space to write. I really love that the days are not dated so if you end up skipping some days you can start up again without wasting any of these beautiful pages. If you are trying to cultivate a journaling habit or get more organized and are the type of person who loves fantasy worlds, this may be the perfect thing for you.
Lillie B.
I absolutely love this journal. It’s such a simple idea, and there aren’t a whole lot of complicated sections I have to fill out. Plus, the undated pages mean I can skip a day if I just don’t get to it, and it doesn’t make me feel like a complete failure. Seeing my quest each day keeps it fresh in my mind, and being able to color the pages makes me excited to use it. I like coloring an entire week’s worth of pages at a time, so I can be excited about starting a new week! I was on the fence for a long time about spending the money, but I’m so glad I did. I am already progressing faster toward my goals than I have using many other motivational tool. I will definitely be getting the Galaxy journal when I finish this one. I can’t wait to see what new products come out next!
Linda N.
Love the Journal!!!!!
Michelle C.
It's the perfect gift for a friend in need of support. They are super excited to begin their brand new adventure one page at a time.
Jennifer D.
This journal has really helped give me confidence, and it helps me to prioritize. By taking time each morning to think about my goal, what I want to accomplish that day, my allies, and my enemies, I go into every day with a plan. I feel like I’m going into my adventure prepared!
Katie F.
I have never been overly successful with journals or planners, but this one is so fun! Nicely laid out, fun illustrations that are a blast to color in, easy to keep everything organized, and fun to check things off each day as I complete them. I love having a space to put what I am grateful for, and what things have helped and hindered me each day. This journal would make a great gift for ANY adventurer, young or old!
Jeremy J.
Carefully crafted, wondrous story all in the form of a journal. Enhances mood and productivity. I get to be mentor and hero at once and storify my days. Only a few days in, but I know it's going to stick.
Betty M.
I don't write many products reviews, but this deserves one! This is better than any other wellness or productivity planner I have used in the past, and I am really enjoying using it. The feeling of playing a game while reaching my goals is so fun, and coloring the great artwork makes my day. But more than that, the method works. Cannot recommend this enough!
Taylor W.
Love this, love the quest themed motivation
Marisa G.
Somewhat got talked into this, but so glad I was! Really enjoying the journal so far and finding it is so effective in focusing my day on the important stuff… or at least keeping my core goals in mind!
kai l.
Such a great effort and love put into the book. Down from the art work, inspiring words and storytelling.
Gaetan L.
This thing is out of this world… so original and perfect and amazing… it’s unique!
Brian T.
It is very good journal to stay on task and meet a goal or 2
Siena C.
Bought as a gift for a friend (and made her a playlist because we're both DND nerds). I am so in love with this journal and the online pdf that I'm going to have to buy one for myself!
Tara D.
This is my 3rd Hero Journal and I love it! Undated pages mean I don't feel obligated to write daily (though I certainly do often, hence why I'm on my 3rd journal since November). Themes feed my nerdy inclinations. Part journal, part coloring pages, all amazing and great way to keep my anxiety in check.
Kashmir J.
I love the way it encourages children to be hero’s in their own way but also helps develop better writing skills in a fun and simple way
Jennifer E.
Well designed and very thoughtful!
Rachel K.
Love it! Its beautiful and helps me to journal every day. The one thing I would recommend is to have a lot of example so fhow other people use their journals to help people brainstorm. Mine is being used to learn self confidence/how to love myself. Quests are "Write down one thing you like about yourself". I wonder if other people have done stuff like this :)
Natalie W.
I have only just started to use this journal, but it has me really floored on the quality, and the contents of it. I love that there’s freedom within the structure that they’ve put into it. No pressure to do it every single day. No pressure to put in a to do list. No pressure to color everything. Doing what feels honoring to you, is exactly how we can persist in heading to our goals. I hope to make it through the whole journal this year. Then I can start another journey.
Gail S.
This journal is a way to get away from the stress of everyday life, to go on a small adventure without leaving your home adding a little fun and lightness to your everyday hectic life!
Kat T.
Love it! Super fun way to journal
Brian A.
(Box, journal, bookmark, with pens for scale)
A very good directed journal, particularly if you're documenting progress to a challenging goal. I've used it for 21 days, and I appreciate the mindset it puts me in the morning and how I look to my day.
The only caveat to this is the more thought you put into your quest at the beginning (and the more you can articulate your goals), the more you'll get out of the journey. I've restarted my progress after the third week (using the .PDF as replacement worksheets) because I found my initial plan was not fleshed-out as well as I'd like.
The construction is quality. It even smells like a keepsake book. The box is really good for keeping the journal unscathed as you carry it around over the day.
jennifer k.
Excited to have received the Hero's Journal and starting the Quest! Where might it lead?
Tammy A.
Really enjoying it so far! Currently five days in. My favorite bits are the dailies changing everyday, the prompts and space for notes/lists, and the chapter character stats lol. I got this one to get me in the habit of exercising and finding something joyful about it every day. I think I’m going to get the Istoria Magic Academy next to help me finish my numerous hobby projects!
Heidi L.
I heard about the Hero's Journal on the HowtoADHD YouTube channel. I'm someone who loves journals, but once I get them I can't keep up with it for a whole host of reasons (hi, neurodivergent brain here). I decided to give the Hero's Journal a try and I'm so glad I did. I've been consistently using it for a week now (a rare feat for me!) and I love it.
Firstly, the quality is top notch. The lovely cloth cover, the ribbon, the beautiful map artwork, the pocket in the back, and the illustrations to color in. The paper is thick enough to not have ink bleed through. I color the pages with colored pencils (Castle and Prisma) and then use a small paintbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to blend the colors. The pages hold up incredibly well. I just put a sheet of printer paper behind the page I'm working on just in case.
Having a quest and a story makes journaling and working on my goal feel less demanding and overwhelming. For the "to seize the day" part of my day, I sometimes use this a reflection on the day rather than writing out my tasks ahead of time. I'll reflect on what I did that day that worked toward my quest.
I also use the "allies" and "threats" as a kind of reflection - what worked against me that day, what worked for me. For example, one day my allies were giving myself space to regulate my nervous system by using my noise cancelling headphones, and my threats were not having my earplugs in my backpack when I needed them.
I like that I don't feel pressure to write out a long journal entry (something that keeps me from journaling). I like that I can just jot down some quick notes.
I am grateful for this journal and having it as a part of my daily routine to check in with myself, my quest, and to regulate through coloring. Is it worth the cost for a 90-day undated journal? For me, absolutely.
Deann A.
love this journal, i write anything i need to remember in it :)
Jennifer J.
I love this journal!!! I'm only on my second week and it's already the longest I've stuck to any journal. The storytelling element (in this case high fantasy) motivates me a heck of a lot more than I can do on my own. It's been tough work sticking to my goals, but this has really helped me progress. I love identifying allies and threats every day, it's so useful. And the three main tasks are a fantastic way to hold myself accountable (since on my to do list app I can just keep procrastinating everything). My hardest task actually comes at the end of the day, so I draw the frog eating flies to remind myself this is the frog task. (And it's just fun.) And since this is a high fantasy theme, I've turned my greatest temptations into monsters that I can "fight," and keep track of the battles I win. I never would have thought of that without the Hero's Journal! I'm looking forward to continuing my quest, and trying out the other themes as well!! Good luck with your own quests!

I've been trying to get back into journaling overall and trying to improve my own mental space. This journal has been a huge step in helping me create the habit and it also has made journaling fun!
As a quiet nerd myself, this form of journaling satisfies the creative itch of story telling but also in my own quest to create a healthy habit and positive mental space!
