One Line a Day

Great journal for recording memories. I’m about 2 years in now and enjoy looking back on how different life was just one year ago. I think this is especially great for someone who’s going through some life changes at the moment, for example if you’re like me, graduating school and going onto university. The quality of the journal itself is also really nice and there’s a decent amount of space to write a couple of short sentences about your day, and I’ve found it easy to keep up with because it only takes a minute at most, plus if I miss a day, I can just fill it in later. I tend to abbreviate certain names and places that I mention a lot to save room.

Bought 5 years ago as a gift for husband who had never kept a diary.He is just coming to the end of the last one of these and has loved writing in it every night.As the years have passed he has amused us by reading what we were up to on this day say 3 years ago. He is very interested in politics so often writes whats going on, so in the last few years its been interesting. This is an ideal gift for anyone to record just a few lines each day.There is no pressure to write loads as there are only 5 lines to fill, and so it feels easier to use it for a specific record.eg diet or exercise or baby records how you feel etc

Purchased as a gift for someone and it was really well received. There is a big sticker on the back which comes off easily, thankfully as I was concerned that this would ruin the book. The design of the book is very high quality considering the price. I just wish it came wrapped to avoid damage before giving to someone.

Really like this little diary. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it feels well made: a nice simple cover, gold-edged pages, and thick enough paper. Also, my boyfriend and i got this to write together...so the requirement for it not to be too feminine was there too. We sit down together most evenings (unless we're busy, but even then the "short & sweet" nature of the entries mean it doesn't take too long to catch up!) to write it. It can sometimes be challenging if we've had a particularly busy day, which i guess is my one issue with it. It does however have a section at the back (i think about 5ish pages worth, but don't hold me to that!) of "Memorable dates" which you can use to expand upon particularly important events...but given it's a 5-year diary it's not much leeway! In the same breath though, the short entries really make you think about what the most important things are that you want to remember, rather than just rambling on. If you're looking for freedom to write descriptive accounts of your daily activities then this probably isn't for you. I'll end on a positive though-i love the way the diary's set out, in that the same day every year is on the same page, meaning that when we eventually get to over one year of entries it'll be easy to scan up the page and reminisce about what we were doing that time during the previous year.

I bought this book 4.5 years ago now and have waited until now to do a review. I bought this as my grandma had one to help her remember past events etc. I bought mine when I was 15 and I am about to turn 20 and I can honestly say I have really enjoyed documenting what I do every day, and looking back on what I have done days previously. I will definitely buy another at the end of this one as I have found it highly therapeutic to add my writing into my routine, and as it is only 5 lines it is not as big of a commitment as a normal diary, I really have to think hard as to what has been important to me that day to write down. This is such a lovely idea for anyone who has poor memory, wants to set personal goals in their life, is nostalgic or just likes to have structure / routine to their days. This book has become as much of my daily routine as cleaning my teeth and I have found it therapeutic over the years to write a short sentence or 2 before bed summarizing my day whether that be important events, thoughts for the day or just mundane everyday happenings. Now I have nearly finished it is amazing to see how much my life has changed over 5 years and this book is great for anyone who is trying to incorporate some mindfulness into their lives but only wants to spend 2 minutes a day on that. I really treasure this book for all the memories I have in it, my one is quite tattered now but it has travelled round the world with me to France, America, the Swiss Alps and various other trips I’ve gone on. It is a perfect size for easy storage and to take travelling. I have also stapled keepsakes and other bits and pieces along the way into the book such as tickets, badges, receipts, photos etc and this has bulked out this tiny diary massively but it’s still going strong nearly 5 years later. The quality of this diary is outstanding, the gold edging on mine is still intact and whilst the front lettering is a little worn I am not surprised as it has been everywhere with me. I have never felt like there isn’t enough space to summarize what I want to that day and the layout is perfect for making it super easy to see what you did last year, 2,3,4 years ago etc. I like having a handwritten memory book alongside digital memories that pop up on my phone. I have used mine everyday and could not recommend this product enough to anyone who’ll listen.

Just loved this. Am writing this on a regular basis. Only thing is that the lines are very narrow.

Beautiful colour!! The pages are thick and ink doesn't smudge at all. This is a tiny 5 year journal type! But the size is very small. For 5 years this should be atleast A5 size. Slightly bigger than the size of a pen. What's inside? One page is divided into 5 parts. We need to fill the year manually. You can actually write more than one line in the given space (provided you writing size should be tiny as hell). I use 0.005 nib pen to write!! Overall it's a good concept. Once you write for a year and then start writing about your days on the same page, we can see the difference in ourselves, how we have grown in a year and how our days was a year back. If you are thinking about buying it, Don't hesitate. It will be worth keeping, only if you write daily.
