    I have this journal in red and it's even more delightful in person. The journal text is primarily based on The Hero's Journey (look up Joseph Campbell for more info) and, from what I remember, the whole thing is hand drawn, which is possibly why it's expensive for a 90 day planner.
    I also conducted a pen test with fountain pens (TWSBI 580AL with fine nibs) and had no bleed through and very little shadowing. Other pen tests I conducted: Pilot Permanent Sign Pen bled through but the Copic Multiliner (.25 nib) did not. And the Mildliners didn't even shadow!
    If you love fantasy, art, and need a 90 day goal planner/journal, I highly recommend this one.❤
    ETA if you are on the fence, they offer the first 70 pages as a free download to try out before you buy.

I know my former student employees would have all loved this. Even the non geeky needy ones. I'll be sharing at our student hackathons as well.

    Also on the website for Hero's Journal they have a download available for a good chuck of free pages. You can print them off. They always make some free pages of each story line available for those that can't afford the full priced planner. They also have free journal fridays on Facebook and Instagram. They go live and give away a journal. I forget what time it is but they always have it at the same time each Friday, so check their previous posts.

    Thanks for the review, Cindy. Perhaps this journal would be a gift for someone who would use it for an alternative timeline, not as their every-day planner. A seven-day “week” could become seven sessions of writing, for example, or seven classes in a subject. It could be really valuable to reframe writing or study as a journey.

Really wish more planner companies would come up with gaming journals. So many Guided, Books, Faith, Wellness, Whoever can come up with an affordable gaming themed planner would make a mint. The closest format I've seen that might work are the Teacher planners.

You touch on executive function which is essentially code for adhd, and I feel you pegged that right.

    Thank You for the review. I actually ordered the digital only version a couple of days ago for several reasons:
    1) I live in Europe and the wait time for mail delivery was going to be too much.
    2) I can print it out several times and just do it over and over (Preview on Mac lets you print it out as a booklet by rearranging the pages for you and you could bind it yourself...)
    3) I can print out a couple of pages for one of the kiddos and see if they like it and use it.
    4) They also offer a download of a PDF that you can just fill out at the computer or your tablet. For those of us who don't like or can't do the journaling by hand.

    Hell yeah, for the other 2! That is AWESOME! Cute but also, they worked a lot on this, and it feels thoughtfully made, not at all a parody of planner or goal setting. I'm really glad this exists, it's to bad it would be far to expensive to have it come all the way to France... That would be a very nice present for the young adults in my family (you know, beginning university and all...). Plus not toxic for people who struggle a bit with mental health (most young people living in these shitty times?)
