  • 140 pages: 120 numbered day pages, six written indexes, six changed-my-mind pages, and nothing else
  • No prompts. No question at the top of the page, no gratitudes, no mood scale - a prompt is somebody else's question, and the reason to keep a journal is your own
  • A margin down the outer edge for the second read, ruled on the same baselines as the page so the two read as one page and not as two
  • Every day page is numbered, and the section index has a written line beside every number - so you can find the entry about the thing
  • Undated. An undated book does not accuse you of the fortnight you missed
  • 120 day pages is four months at a page a day, or a year at three a week, which is what actually happens
  • One changed-my-mind page at the end of each section: what I thought, what I think now, and what moved it
  • The margin swaps sides on the left-handed edition, and moves to the foot on the pocket one

What is inside

The unprompted one.

120 numbered day pages, six written indexes, six changed-my-mind pages, and nothing else. Undated. 140 pages, all linked.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

· No prompts. No question at the top of the page, no three gratitudes, no mood scale. A prompt is somebody else's question, and the reason to keep a journal is your own — which is why almost every prompted journal is abandoned in the second week

· A margin down the outer edge for the second read: the thing you think about this day a week later. It is ruled on the same baselines as the page beside it, so the two read as one page rather than as two

· Every day page is numbered, and every section has an index with a written line beside each number. That is the difference between a journal and a stack of days — you can find the entry about the thing

· Undated, so it does not accuse you of the fortnight you missed

· 120 day pages is four months at a page a day, or a year at three a week. The second one is what actually happens, and this listing would rather say so than claim a year

· One page at the end of each section headed "what changed my mind" — what I thought, what I think now, what moved it. Not a prompt: a place

· The margin swaps sides on the left-handed edition. On the pocket edition it moves to the foot, because a 4.7-inch page has no room beside the text and a squeezed margin is worse than a different one

· No branding inside. You are buying paper, not an advert.
