This book was okay at best. There were spelling and grammatical issues throughout, and it felt like I was reading the author’s blog, rather than an actual book. It’s a good collection of overview information, and maybe the very casual conversational writing style will appeal to some people, but I was hoping for something that felt more cohesive and insightful. All in all, it wasn’t a terrible read, and I blew through it in less than two hours, but it’s not likely to be something I reach for again in the future.

Not a lot of substance here beyond a cursory summary of the Bullet Journal Method and Dot Journaling. There are lots of typos and grammatical mistakes. Your time will be better spent reading some of the free summary blog posts on the various journaling systems available online.

Good book to start journaling or see other ideas.

Try to get info on other ways to journaling. I like the SELF journal myself b/c its templated and saves time but sometimes it felt I was limiting myself when writing my thoughts and ideas. I also liked the prompt examples to help me when I feel like I don't have anything to write about or not motivated.

This book is exceptional. There are a tons of ideas and ways to achieve goals and be a successful journaler. It gives you purpose and meaning behind the words on the page. If you are the creative type, never fear, there are journaling techniques you can use that allow you to draw or doodle. Highly recommend.

It was also a quick read. I read it in 2 hours.

Cute book about how journaling can be effective. Nothing earth-shattering, but not terrible either. Takes more of a productivity perspective.

Excellent overview of the various options for productive journaling. Quick read which is also a plus. Would make a good gift for a graduate or other young adult!

Terrible. I think a high schooler used AI to write this.
