Clever Fox Self-Care Journal for Women, Daily Planner 5.8x8.3 Forest Green

Life saver. First of all, I’m so glad I found a hard-cover journal!! The cover has such a nice texture too. These pages certainly do not bleed through! I use a black paper mate “marker” pen, and there’s no bleed. It is so fun to use with the different writing prompts, and allows plenty of space to write about your day in general! It does lay flat. I truly love being able to track my sleep hours, screen time, water, caffeine, fruit/veggie, intake, as well as my mood, energy level, and activity level from my day. Right away when I saw “self-care act for the day:”, I was like “oh.. I should actually plan that out and DO it!” Which is exactly what I have been missing in my life. HIGHLY recommend for those who struggle with self-care/love, and emotional struggle.

This is a gorgeous, quality product. Overall, solid A grade. Yes, it’s pricey and there are plenty of cheaper options out there, but this one actually is worth the extra dollars. I’ll be buying other Clever Fox products for myself and as gifts while quietly grumbling the whole time about some of the small details that could be better. Disclaimer: I’m a graphic designer and extremely picky about layout. No, I don’t have time to design my own journal to my exact preferences. Maybe someday. Color accuracy gets a B-. Color choices for the interior content also get a B-. (If I wanted pink, I would have bought the rose gold version.) The whole book would feel more considered if the interior colors were neutral or matched the cover. A missed opportunity. Speaking of cover color: be warned, the yellow reads more like a bright, burnished gold with a metallic shimmer. Pretty, but not quite what I expected. My other issue is the self-care idea list. The layout is genuinely ugly and looks like it was added as an afterthought. Not a great first impression, Clever Fox. Do better. I’m getting out my X-Acto knife and removing those pages entirely. (I also recognize that 98% of buyers will never even notice.)

I did not realize this journal was only a four month journal. Especially given the size. For some reason, I thought it was for the whole year. I mean at least six months. However, once I got past the four month trauma, I sat down and really looked at the journal. It is well-made, the paper is high-quality, and it has prompts for making it a real wellness journal. The title says self-care, but for me it seems more like goals. I am starting an online yoga instructor training in February. I did not know how I was going to organize my time, or if I would make it a priority. This book arrived just in the nick of time because it forced me to really think about why I was taking the training and I now have a plan of action for how I can complete the training thanks to this journal. As I was going through, it felt like a lot of work, defining my purpose, etc. But that’s part of the process if you’re serious about a goal. I didn’t do it all at once I took several days to do it and I liked that it arrived in January before my class so that I had time to do all of the pre-work. I should also mention I bought this after receiving Clever Fox’s 5 year journal. I bought it knowing it would be a high-quality notebook I think my favorite part of this one is there’s a little sticker of a cat doing yoga.

Love the journal

A beautiful, well-organized self-care journal that may motivate you to keep a daily journal. This is the only self-care journal I've ever used and it encourages me to journal. It's built well, looks sharp, and has a nice cozy feeling about its aesthetic. The journal has different sections that serve as a wellness guide and daily reflection tool that gets you asking yourself questions and reflecting on your day/week. It's on the premium side, so it's decent value for the money.

Not the same questions everyday like some of these books. I would remove the daily schedule part but that is personal taste. It is a nice book.

Because I liked this journal so much the first time I got it (and they were sold out everywhere for months!) I tried other planners from Clever Fox, and while they’re all good, this one is by far the best! This is great if you are trying to slow down, enjoy each day, and make the most of your time. The prompts for each day allow you to get in touch with your feelings daily and get to know yourself a little bit deeper. I really appreciate that it’s undated so if you’re going through a period where you’re feeling too busy or overwhelmed you can skip a week and not waste any pages. I love that when I finish a journal, I can go back and see my progress over time. It really helps to set 3 month goals for yourself and focus on building better habits & completing small tasks to reach your goals! There is nothing I would change or add to this journal - the price ($25) has stayed the same since I first started to use this over a year ago. I’d recommend this to anyone trying to work on themselves and track their progress.

I love the purple color, it's the perfect size, fits nicely into my side pocket of my nightstand, love that it has the pen loop to keep it organized. I love the week in review feature, then the monthly growth plan as well. The price was great especially given all of the features it has. Helps show me my growth, or lack of it, asks thought provoking questions to really make you think about yourself. Comes with 3 sets of stickers also. Easy to use, starts on Sunday and week end on Saturday. Starts the day off with today's main goal, self-care act for the day, I am grateful for, today my affirmation is, a schedule and to do list. Then the evening reflection has your sleep hours, screen time, vitamins, water, caffeine drinks, fruits and veggies, mood, energy, activity, how I felt today, 2 make you really think questions and I'm looking forward to. The week in review changes which is a nice option as well. I wish it was a 6 month or even yearly over being just 4 months is about the only negative thing I can say about it! Even though this is my 2nd one, I'm looking forward to going back and comparing what I wrote in the pervious one to see if I've grown and changed!

It’s a cute notebook got it as a gift for a friend

Truly helpful during difficult times when you just don't know where to start.

Il est très beau, très riche. Il y a de la place pour écrire, les sujets sont pertinents. Ça me motive d'avoir un carnet comme celui ci. Il est prévu pour un suivi de 4 mois ce que je trouve très bien.

Geweldige journal notebooks. Er staan leuke suggesties in voor Zelfzorg maar er is ook aandacht voor zaken als je stemming, hoe dag is geweest of genoeg water hebt gedronken. Dit is mijn tweede Clever Fox notebook en ik ben er echt tevreden mee.

This was a present for my daughter she just loved this
