The Jotter

I absolutely love the concept of this. I'm right in the target market - ex army, PTSD, male, on depression meds, anxiety, the whole gamut. I've been journalling on and off since 1986. This is perhaps the one thing that puts me outside of the target market. I get the feeling it's aimed more at men who have never journaled before, but it still gave me great ideas about things I hadn't thought of. There is a big BUT though. I am a fountain pen user. I have a lot of them. I use them every day, different pens, different inks, different nib sizes. That's where the MindJournal falls down. The paper is not friendly at all to fountain pens. This is where the company support comes in though. I wrote to the company to give my feedback about the fountain pen issue and the fact that the cover had warped in the sun. They've since addressed the warping by changing the glue that they use, but the fountain pen thing is something that they're looking at. Here's the thing though - they refunded me for the Journal AND for the Jotter. Not only that, but they said I could keep both AND they asked if I would be interested in being in their test group! I was blown away by the response. Great company!

MindJournal is helping me to make sense of my thoughts and to find a way through the thick fog I’ve been living in for a while now. It’s gradually starting to clear and I’m feeling a little less numb every day.

To organize ones thoughts,
Is to heal a mind,
This Journal saves all,
It keeps you all kind.

As yet all I’ve managed to do is open the box, feel the quality of the Journal and its pages. The guidance written on the pages is very informative and easy to read, this is a fabulous product.

But, it’s me, since being furloughed from work I have been so busy with my partner finishing off jobs from building work started last year, all the small bits after builders had finished, she has wanted my time as well I just haven’t made the time to start my Journal experience.

When I was working I seemed to have time to think whilst travelling to work and back but now my time isn’t my own. I will start at some point and I thank you for the emails with updates hints and tips. Has anyone else found it difficult to start writing in their Journal? Thank you

I’m so happy I decided to try MindJournal. I don’t usually write a diary or set my feelings down on paper. During these days of lockdown I find it difficult to stay positive. I’m now almost at the end of the first 30 days. It’s been so enlightening to set down my thoughts and take the exercises. The journal has helped me with an honest account of how I feel. I have no hesitation in saying it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Thank you to the team.

After a couple of weeks, nothing special yet.

I've been journal writing for close to 30 years. I thought this MindJournal would just be another anthology of prompts, directed especially at the 'manly men' who don't cry and don't write. I did not expect it to dig so deep and strike such a nerve in me. Touching base so often with how I feel is powerful, and I am finding frightening stuff.

I completed the entire 30 entries in a little over 30 days. It was an amazing experience. Holy Crap, I actually wrote a RAP! I had convinced myself I was going to skip it. I held myself accountable and did it anyway. I'm proud of that too. Thank you for putting it together! It really has affected me. I am now working through it a second time, two years after I did the first run through.

Refocused my career at home and motivated me in these tough times.

My mind is all over the place - MindJournal has given me focus, structure, purpose and the chance to really sort myself out. It has been a launchpad for processing, progressing and planning. I rarely sing the praises of my purchases - but MindJournal has become an integral part of my daily routine.

It's like having someone to talk to about things I don't want to/can't with others. It makes you empty your mind so you feel less weight on your shoulders. Honestly the best thing I've done.
