Reddit reviews Celestial One Line a Day (Blank Journal for Daily Reflections, 5 Year Diary Book)

I forced myself into the habit of keeping a journal before I moved overseas - and I'm so glad I did. It's a habit that I've been keeping up since late 2015, having moved overseas in early 2016 (and back in early 2018, thanks to my visa ending, but I've kept the diary up). Sure, I'd sometimes get behind, and sometimes I'd be catching up weeks later, but it's still where all those memories and those collected mementos go.

If you're not one for full length journalling, I highly recommend a line a day journal - just a brief snippet, of what you did, but you keep it up full time, and you can look back a year later and remember. If you're like me and a journaller who gets behind, it's also a great way to prompt your thoughts down the track to write a full entry.

I also find that splashing out on a nice journal helps me. But the journal I used to get myself in the habit wasn't a pricey one - I'm just a bit of a Paperblanks addict, and I love how my four (so far!) filled journals look on my shelf, all slightly beaten up around the edges from being carried with me everywhere and puffed out fatter from how many tickets and oddments I've stuck in.

I have one of those 5 year "one line a day" journals. I started Jan 1 (we had our first IUI Jan 5), so I could keep track of everything and just regular daily life. I like it because it has everything at a glance so you can see what you were doing on that day during the previous years. I've intermittently tried to journal throughout my life and have trouble sticking with it long term. Because this only has space for a few sentences, I have kept with it longer than any of my prior journaling endeavors!
