This journal is super cute and I’m really impressed by the quality. You can tell they really care about this product. I’m starting the whole bundle of journals with my friend, and we’re going to keep each other accountable. I’m very excited. I’ve also really enjoyed making this my own by adding little touches to the coloring pages.
I've only been using the journal for a couple days, and so far, I love it! You obviously don't have to color it, but I feel like that gives my brain time to think about what my intentions are. The creators clearly put a lot of thought into the journal, and I'm excited to share with friends/family that want to build habits with a creative approach.
I bought the bundle of 4 as a college graduation gift to myself. I just started and I can already feel it giving my new chapter in life some type of goal!
I would never get my writing projects done without hero journal! They are the best way to budget my time and track my progress. The reflection of looking back on what I’ve accomplished really helps me steam forward.
The quality of this journal is insane. I know it seems expensive, but I think it's worth every penny! The details and thoughtfulness that went into making Istoria are evident on every page. I keep discovering fun new things! I'd hate to say more and ruin the journey for someone else, but I will hint to pay close attention to EVERY illustration. You can see the love! I can't get enough. This may just be the thing I need to actually journal every day!
Arrived quickly and is beautiful! Using it to work my first 3 months of sobriety and it seems perfect for that purpose.
The first few pages were a surprisingly emotional and spiritual experience for me! To commit to something I have wanted to make progress on for a long time and to have an accessible way to help me do it… It is part of my daily routine now and really helps me focus on my priorities for the day. Will definitely be recommending and purchasing again some time. Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible ❤️
The journal is a good quality with nice paper, as well asa great layout with wonderful illustrations. I love that I could take my time, coloring the illustrations if I desire and that I’m not looking at a full blank page. The journal is designed to be user-friendly and I believe a great place to start for anyone who is new to journaling or just needing a change. This allows you to enjoy the journey for that is what makes life exciting.
I really love this journal, it's super cute and I think the contents on the pages are well thought out! If I could make one suggestion, though, if these journals are meant to appeal to ADHDers then it would really, really help to have a spiral journal option. I know it would look less aesthetically pleasing, but the ability to leave it open on the current page works wonders for the "out of sight, out of mind" issue that ADHDers like myself deal with.
I loved it! I hope you guys make more stories!
I am looking to rediscover my creativity as a 40 something adult that struggles with journaling and accountability. After just a few days I find myself waking up wanting to go to the journal, one of the most surprising aspects to me is realizing I love coloring! Highly recommend!
I love these journals! Great layout, fun to look at and use. I’ve bought them for friends who needed a better way to center themselves or organize. I always love the quote of the day!
This journal has high quality paper, a durable cover, and an adorable adventure to motivate change or to inspire creativity!
I have just started, but I feel more motivated to move forward and set more goals. This is going to be fun!
I love the idea of an adventure journal to help with journaling. I’ve been looking at this product for a very long time and I am so excited and happy. I finally got the chance to get it. Only thing I would say is the spine is a little bit detached from the book making a little tough to open because when I open it, it seems to bend and I’m a little worried about the creasing with the leather, but other than that, very excited to start this journal, I am going to start January 1 so excited.
I love this book! Helps me stay focused on my goals and actually complete what I set out to accomplish. If you want to complete every quest, get your hands on a Hero's Journal
Before I was using a plain journal with a cute cover but nothing more. I started falling out of writing in it. I was bored and jornaling just seemed like too much effort. I saw a video online about the Hero's Jornal and was intrigued. I kept seeing the add so finally I looked it up. Though it was a little over $50.00 for the one I chose I can honestly say now that it was money very well spent. I get up early and first thing after feeding my furry overlord (my cat) I sit down and color that days page as well as put down the top three things I hope to get done that day. Then at night after I've fed my furry but cute overlord again and before bed I finish filling it out. It has honestly become two points of the day that I look forward to. It calms me down and helps me keep going about keeping a record about my day. I've now entered Act Two of the journal and am proud to say that I have kept up with it faithfully for all of Act One so I'm posting this review to say that yes this journal IS worth both your time and money if you really want to keep a record of your day! I look forward to seeing what my little yew gets up to each day and will most definitely try to other journals in the series when I finish this one! Thank you and happy Journaling!!! Sarah
I was in a really bad depressive episode and having a hard time restarting my life. This journal game-ified my life and helped me get back to my goals. I looked forward to using it every day and I'm starting to feel like myself again. Thanks for making it ADHD friendly! Makes me feel less guilty about missing a day here and there.
I'm actually eager to journal now! It doesn't expect a lot from each day and think thats important. If you have a lot to write down you can definitely do so, but I love that the pages are filled with drawings of Yew's journey and spaces to write things down. It is also fountain pen friendly which is a big plus. The pages dont bleed for me at all. Great Journal!
Love these journals!
I'm loving it so much I ordered two more for my nieces!
I love the Hero's Journal products and have been using these journals and other products since I first discovered them in 2020. Absolutely wonderful quality, frequent discounts, and a great team behind this company.
I like the look back especially well. It’s not all keep going, it’s checking what worked and what didn’t and planning the following week with that insight in mind. That makes it awesome.
Dear Nick, I wanted to thank you for coming up with something so amazingly fun for journaling. I started journaling in February this year and always struggled with how to do it and what to write about. I always strived for perfection and that caused me not to journal for many days and just stare at my blank journal. I watched Youtube videos on repeat trying to get inspiration on how to organize my thoughts into words, until I found the Hero's Journal. I have only been using it for a few days now but the way it it broken out to have a quest with a guiding star is so helpful. The Allies and Threats to accomplish or deter me on my quest daily is so useful, like today I have a migraine as a threat which causes me not to want to stare at a computer screen editing photos for my quest. My quest is to explore different styles of photography and get out of my comfort zone and continue to learn. The photos included were from a camping trip I just went on in the Rocky Mountains where I sat and journaled in my Hero's Journal for 3 days. Thank you again, Joe Story PS: the pen in the photos is hand crafted and amazing on the pages in the Hero's Journal. I make these as a side hobby and if you'd ever like to try one or offer a limited run of them on your website for other heroes, let me know.
My new favorite planner! I love getting to color in the pages as I go, and the fact that the pages are undated makes it so I'm not made to feel bad if I miss a day, so I'll actually get back to it when I can!
I'm utterly thrilled with my hero's journal! I selected Legend of Istoria, and I'm eager to acquire the rest, as they embody the perfect blend of inspiration and creativity that I've been craving. Previously, I relied on a basic notebook that, although helpful, lacked the excitement and motivational spark that my hero's journal has ignited within me. The call to adventure has been a game-changer, and I love how my goal has transformed into a thrilling quest. The daily ritual of coloring and writing in my journal, paired with evening reflections, has profoundly enhanced my ability to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and stay focused on achieving my objectives. Thank you for guiding me toward my North Star – I'm now ready to embark on a journey of growth and self-discovery, and I'm excited to see what the future holds! Adventure awaits!
This is my second Hero’s Journal, and I love it! It looks so cool, I love the red & gold sword design. It helped me stop procrastinating and just take action.
This journal is fun to use and it motivates me to write!
As an ADHD (and alphabet soup of other issues) and mom of 4, I've used a lot of planners, apps, and notepads to keep me on task. This is so much better! The art, the storytelling, the flexible dates, and focusing on the bigger picture are so helpful. I've been eyeing this for well over a year and finally pulled the plug and I'm so glad I did! The Hero's Guild Community is STELLAR. The resources Hero's Journal have are magnificent. The journal is stunning, great quality, thick pages, beautiful art and storytelling and all the things I ACTUALLY need in a planner without a bunch of extra micromanaging.
Such an amazing idea, I will certainly be using a books like this to help better myself, and being a huge fan of DnD this is a great book to constantly enjoy journaling
its the one journal that fits all the parts a bit of stress relief, the good/bad and goals. i even have the planner that fits so well with getting things out of the head and visually able to finally get that to do list onto paper and solved( without forgetting what the goals were and to dos). cant wait for eggby and the new one to come out. so much to process and to do everyday 😊
It’s absolutely stunning. The material is high quality. The journal is a nice texture. The print is amazing. The word choices are very well thought out. So far, this has been the coolest journal I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a ton. It makes you want to continue the quest. The questions make you really think about the answer. The pages do bleed through if you color using a marker, like myself: but I’ve only noticed it on one page.
I am not far into my journey yet however my experience has been fantastic!! I have joined the guild and wow what engagement!!! Love the bookmark with habit logging. The box is beautiful!! And the bookmark is great quality! I have tried many types of Journaling books, blank ones, ones with prompts, daily tracking, lots of tabs, different sizes and so on and so on. Needless to say I've yet to find something that works. I was talking with my husband and friend about Journaling and they mentioned the heros journal, I had no idea what is was. I immediately looked it up and thought oh my gosh that looks awesome!!! Now here I am with my own ready to start my adventure!!! So excited for this journey!! Thank you!!!❤️
Having ADHD, it's hard for me to maintain consistent journaling. But with The Hero's Journal, not only are my goals laid out nearly in front of me, there's no guilt if I miss a few days!
This journal helps me focus on one quest for the day. It’s the ultimate romanizing your life. It makes making doctor appointments fun. And it keeps me off my phone. I’m hooked. 10/10
I love the small changes everyday that keep my brain engaged and excited for the story. I love getting to add my originality to it by coloring. The visuals each day tell enough of the story that my brain is engaged and curious and the journal never feels like a blank page. However, there also isn’t too much either, so my imagination is still able to explore and create and add myself into the story. It is a great mix to prevent my anxiety/perfectionism while also still allowing for creative engagement. I love that there is no guilt or shame if I skip a day or don’t write or color as much on some days compared to others. The chapter pages at the end of 7 dailies really help reflect and tie Yew’s quest to my quest and my story. The reflection questions change each time so I am still engaged and excited. They help tie it all together. There is clearly recent and relevant social science research that was used to design the journal, but it doesn’t feel like it. The elements are still fantastical and fun. It doesn’t feel patronizing or pandering.
I found out about this journal through Facebook and saw that it can help you with organizing your life without the hassle of it needing to be filled out daily. I was using nothing before, but the fact that it has no set dates, has amazing art that you can color in yourself, and comes with a habit tracker bookmark made me want to try it out. Thank you!
I only like to track on my days off. When I can relax and enjoy and the world isn’t on rinse and repeat. It make the day better and I appreciate the progression
I picked up the Hero's Journal to help me get over a serious back injury. The road to recovery has been a long one, and using the questing concept to keep up with appointemnts, therapies, an self-care has been great so far. I am very excited to get through this period of healing, and maybe have a little fun along the way.
This journal is helping me get my life back on track for not just myself but also with my marriage and kids. I love the story and the color parts of the book.
